    In-line boards with Leadcore. That's been the hottest ticket for our gang this year. Lately, 6 to 89 colors the best at 1.6 to 2.0 MPH over ground. As far as how to use them...... Make sure you have enough backing material (Power Pro 30# or 30# mono) (Braid is best). Get them as far away from the boat as wind and waves give you. The farther, the better. 18# Leadcore is perfect for Lake Erie walleyes and can handle most Steelhead. We don't use Downriggers much for walleye. With the clear water, we believe that Dipsey's are a stealthier option. The key to in-line boards is the "Tattle" flag and its adjustment. You need to make sure the flag spring is sensitive enough to show when a small fish is on the bait. "READ" your boards. Any change in the way they line up ..... assume you have a fish or debris that is causing it. Either way, won't catch fish you want.
    Hope that helps.

    I've not run my riggers in a few years. I use my boards that's for sure and I run dipsys. This year I started running jet divers with success. So I run all 3 programs when I am out. I'll run pending whose with me 9, 12, or 15 rods. I also run 5 color leadcore. I will also run deep divers and weight. I run a bunch of programs to see what takes fish then switch, just like my plugs, one side I may run renosky's and the other reef runners, bagleys, t-sticks, etc.
