I've found trolling 2 rods can lead to serious tangles even if just 1 rod gets hit. Just the way a yak moves when you set the hook on a bigger fish tends to spin you in to the other line. When I'm trolling 1 line I have a jig stick within easy reach. Mike

Dropper loops will only get you nasty bycatch like Halibut, YT and WSB. So try to avoid that at all cost.

Thanks Gents. Surface iron or dropper loop sound good to me.
