Posts: 530
I had rail mount DE, and changed over to track this past spring. I really like the track a lot better, it offers a lot of flexibility. Its nice because you can remove your rod holders when not in use, you can also mix and match items in your track.
What I didn't want to lose with the track was the ability to tip the rod holders to get the rod tips under the water (tipping with rail mounts are easy). So I modified my DE holders to be able to tip. Now I have a system that fits my style of fishing very well.
Something to consider before adding rails
Anyway for spacing I attached photos of what three DE holders with smaller trolling reels look like on 24" track for reference, I did cut my down rods butt grip way down to clear the side rod. Its necessary when running three rods per side, but not an issue with 2 rods per side
