Yeah, I think that will work.
Consider trying some lever drag reels. I like the Avet SX. It makes resetting a much faster proposition, even when you get a hit on the bottom rod and have to reset both lines when you are stacking.
I think you'll find that a third downrigger probably isn't as effective as stacking two downriggers. But, I could be wrong since I've never done that. Let me know how it works out.
