I have a 2008 620 Ranger and I have my boat rigged as such, I have rails on both sides, on the rear of rails I got cannon removeable downrigger mounts,  just to make clear the mount stays on the rail.I use cannon   manual riggers with 150ft of cable and they have their own rod holder on them. Then in the middle of the rail I run dipsey divers I use down east rod holders, then on the front of the rail I run planer boards on down east rod holders. On the dipseys and planers I use line counter reels. The rigger has a depth counter on it. The riggers I run from 50ft deep and deeper,the dipseys I have run 35ft down and then the planers run lures from the surface down to 10 to 15 ft. Your can run countless different ways and lures as you will find out when talking to trollers. I troll in lake Michigan in Wisconsin and each angler can have 3 lines, so I run max 6 lines, I found out when you hook up with a salmon sometimes they like to swim back and forth and tangle lines so I don't run any more than 6 lines. I got deep,medium and shallow depth covered.[/QUOTE]
