Basic’s on Running
Inline Boards Search
thru the articles on http://www.offshoretackle.com/articles.html
lots of info there. The
inside ( closest to the boat) should be the deepest running bait. and usually
the most rearward rod. the front rod will be the outside board and the
shallowest running bait. I prefer offshore boards. you
need 2 left and 2 right. I change out the releases to these. These
will hold any type line, mono, braid, Fireline etc. and are the easiest to open
with light finger pressure. even a young kid can open these with ease. Your
first bait/board in the water will be the farthest out and shallowest. keep your
boards separated by the visual width of your boat when looking at
them.. a lot less tangles. There
are some rules on when to pick up a rod to take a fish, but there are sooo many
veriables. that's part of the learning curve. it is easier to learn to
"read" a board when there are other boards running in the same line.
weeds, fish etc usually pulls a board back out of formation/alignment. starting
at, let's say, 1.5 mph GPS for crankbaits. You do very slow "S"
turns. The outside of the turn, baits will speed up and the inside will slow
down. this helps you figure out what speed the fish want. You can make your own
tattle tale flag kits. cut a plastic washer out of a margarine lid or similar
plastic lid, get some stainless steel welding wire from any welding shop. 2
pieces for 4 boards is plenty. around .040. you should have the rest.
beads, stainless snaps, and regular rubber bands. just remove the small
eyelet from the front side rear where the rear clip is attached and screw that
eyelet into the rear of the board. there's a hole already there for it. Check
