If I am running all the same baits/weights on a side I run the longest lines outside and have less tangles. If the baits/weights vary I run the deepest diving/heaviest inside and have less tangles.

There is some contradiction in posts here. Usually regardless of what you're running you run the deepest closest to the boat and the outside lines progressively higher in the water column. Then when you pull in the outside boards with fish on back behind the boat they have the best chance of riding above the deeper inside lines and not tangling. If those lines are running higher you have more chance of catching them. Also, the inside boards run deeper cause they are closer to the boat which can spook fish. The higher riding fish will not be spooked further from the boat. Just wanted to clarify how I've been taught to do it and what seemed to be some contradictions in the prior posts. Good luck!

Run a 1 oz inline weight about 6' infront of your harness. If fishing the mud, run 30' back on the outside board, 25' middle, 20 inside. Run .9-1.4 mph. That is all there really is to it.

How far away is the in-line weight from the harness?

What popi said and the rest is pretty much the same as cranks. Highest running on the outside, deepest on the inside.
