When I troll six lines I use the four rod holders on the gunnels, the two straight out the back like you have installed and the front two that angle to the outside, plus I have two other 30 degree holders located on my engine well pointing straight out the back that connect to the flat lines. (If it's really rough and I can't handle all six lines myself I go back to just the the four on the gunnels, the two up front to the outrigger and two rear ones down to flatlines). Oh yeah, two sets of outrigger lines are needed if you go with six lines, one set that goes to the top of the rigger for the rods in the front gunnel rod holders and one set of lines that only go about 2/3 of the way up the outrigger for the rear rod holders (I loop mine at the first "eye bolt" below the tip). Just for grins I also have a center holder on my leaning post to go straight out the back as a long line for tuna when I'm in a real froggy mood. Remember, short rods to the back and longer rods to the front.
