I've had good luck with relatively tight turns using four riggers and single mono side divers. I would like to add a second side diver. Will I loose the ability to make these turns without causing problems?

For the msot part the more stuff you have out the mroe careful you have to be when turning.

That being said typically whne you are adding an additional diver you are running outside of the existing one - for instance the inside diver is running on 1 or 1.5 and the outside diver is running on 3 or so. So really your are constrained mainly by the inside diver.

That is not to say that you wont get some tangles on occasion especially in high current situations - but it's well worth the occasional headache to get those additional baits out there. There is hardly a time if I have enough people onboard that I don't run atleast 2 divers per side.

Do you use the same size rods for both divers?

I use grauated lengths - I use a 8' roller for low wire - a 9' for braid high diver and a 10' for mono slide diver.
