Lots of good information in here. I'm always apprehensive to run a deep six since i don't have much experience with them. But have tried just the fly out the back with some weight in the wash and it's worked well. I was always told never run a flasher off a deep six just like John stated on his website. I've got a ton of dodgers i picked up cheap from a garage sale though. Might give her a shot for the third rod next time.
