When putting out inline Boards does the deeper, longer lines go on the inside or the outside? I run braid and use sam's pro release on the front. Thank you for the help.

Personally, I fish both ways. When targeting fish that are higher in the water column I run the shorter leads the farthest out to not spook the fish. When running all the lures deeper, I run the longest on the outside. I don't get many tangles either way. I release my boards and free spool a bit to let them fall straight back and then reel the board and fish in straight up the middle.

When I let the boards fall back after a bite and let the fish drag a little, I seem to be able to avoid tangling into my other lines.
When running snap weights the longer leads are to the outside? With a fish on they would come up in the water column, correct?
Ideally you would like the shallowest lures on the outside so not to spook fish but you better let that board back some so you don't tangle with a longer lead on an inside board.I still run my longest leads on the outside and immediately will put tension and begin reeling in a fish.I have been running a 2 oz weight with great results on the closest boards.Put out 20 then 2 oz weight and another 30 or 40 for a total of 50 or 60.
Long story short for me..I run the longest leads on the outside. This is the way when running big boards too. If you wanna run just a couple with weights, run them inside like Bob said. I release my boards off the front release with a quick rod snap after a bite and let them drift straight back quite a bit to ensure no crossover tangles. There is no slack on the fish doing so and I have almost never lost a fish doing so.
I'm a little confused. I usually run my inline boards using both clips. Afraid of losing board and having to go back to find it. Is one clip good enough to not lose the board? Braid or mono? Seems to be that releasing the front clip is a good thing. Don't know.
Use the red clip with the tit on it or the Off Shore OR16 clips and loop your line around the clip in the rear so you won't loose the board.....unless the line breaks.Quote:

Ditto to ITSBOB for my board setup and same size mono.
Look up "the loop trick" on YouTube. The Fishing 411 guys explain it well.
I like releasing from the front clip way better after the bite to fight the fish.
