Some folks seem to have good results. Others of us rarely see even close results between real/fake.
When dealing with that situation, I prefer to nip off the crawler 1/2" behind the rear hook. With...

I've had the metal adjustable superclips for over 9 yrs before the padding split (and that included tourney fishing). As far as slipping, I've only ever seen it with the plastic Church clips. I've...

There are a few options on replacement clips. What color clips do you have on your boards now? Do you want the clips to lock down? Do you fish with kids or folks with arthritis? Do you want your...

For me, I've never had any 3 way swivels that rotated as well/easy as what I have shown below. Less line twist, and I have a snaps on the ends where I want/need it. But I'm sure they would work.

Over the past few years I have went away from using actual bottom bouncers and inline weights for trolling.
Basically for easier/smaller required storage space, easier to store rod for another run...

What your mentioning would be a drifting situation where you run a bouncer in a rod holder that keeps tagging NOT dragging bottom. And casting/retrieving a weapon at the same time. That you count...

Like mentioned, typical is 1oz per 10ft of depth.
But, it depends on how many rods you are going to run and how deep of water to how many weights you require. I always had 6 each from 1oz up to 8oz...

They may not be "feeding". But they are very catchable pulling meat. Most days I'd say 1/3 of the fish come off bottom IMHE.

Yes cover the water column. Let the fish tell you where the active fish are biting. And adjust from there.

This time of year. For the East side of Kelly's. I'd be pullin meat. Run closer to shore. There are a few humps out there. Run the closest to shore board with 10ft of line out behind the board using...

Like mentioned, flat lines can and do catch fish. But you will catch more fish using boards in the long run. Your odds go up as you increase your spread...most days. You are covering more water with...

Are you talking line for the rod using inline planer boards? Or trolling main line for big boards?
For rod line, your choice, some prefer mono for the stretch.
Some prefer braided line.
Then you...

I'd suggest you take a teaching charter, or fish with someone who runs big boards using their equipment/boat. Ask alot of questions. Take alot of notes! You will learn more in one day fishing with...

Just note. If you have someone, not you wire up all your electronics and they are hooked thru the NEMA. If the main unit goes out, you are out there on the water without a depth finder or possible...

I prefer an original gimbal type mount. (i've made my own, but you can buy replacements). They don't typically come loose. You will need another set of power wires and nema cables if you are linking...

I'd suggest you either take a charter, or fish with some one who run inline boards. You will learn more in one day than experimenting on your own trying to understand all the little fine points of...

The reefs and outside the reefs.

Tot's still work. It is just there are other baits that typically just work/catch better now that the water is clearer. Since you are going to run big boards, you might look into jets and spoons for...

Over here in Mi, there are so many folks and shops who make and sell jigs for the Detroit river. 5/8's and 3/4 oz. There are alot of places to purchase them. But... depending on if you are going to...

Thank you for the update. Dang that is sad/bad news.
I having been waiting on Dennis to let me know when he would be able to do a road trip with me. He was interested in going to some of the tackle...

It is at the top with the sticky's

I don't have any photos, but a few years ago I lowered the rear eyelet from the upper part of the board where there is a hole and most everyone installs the eyelet for use with the tattle flag. Then...

For me, using the #32 rubber band. I can set it tight enough where a 3oz weight will not pull the flag down. Or light enough using a 1/4oz weight/harness, one small weed will pull the flag down. BUT,...

I used the tattle flags. Made my own. Use #32 rubber bands, not springs. Yes you will break a very few rubber bands each year. But when you can get a bag for cheap and it is enough to last years....

Like mentioned, either work very well. Just personal preference mostly. I ran Offshore for many years and preferred them to the Church. (sold my boat last year with all the equipment). I had many...
