I put the ones in front just to have a place to stick a rod when changing lures, releasing a fish etc... and normally only have the left or right one in, but I have been know to troll will all four lines out and have caught some good fish doing just that. I have even used planer boards, really no limit to what you can do with these kayaks. well, you know that. They are a lot of fun and a good work out.

I stay as snug as a bug in a rug in the winter time in this thing. Freezing line and cold hands are the limiting factor. I do have a hard time turning around to get at the rear hatch and rod holders when I have all the cold weather gear on + a life jacket. I've learned to reach back and grab the rods without looking at them, less turning/ twisting.
