All this is why I like my releasing clips, they do have to wrapped correctly or they dont release and they did take some getting used to. But now I love them, just a small flick and around its coming.........and longer a 3 way fight..........
When reeling in with the board running you have the boat going forward, board going out, fish pulling back, with the board running you can't feel if the fish is swimming up getting slack in the line.
Using releasing clips will also allow you to run shallow leads away from the boat into the water where the fish might now be spooked by the boat as it could with the shallow lead being in the inside.
Neither way is wrong or right just a different way of doing the same thing.
I do run my holder's as far forward as possible this gives me as much footage to get the boards behind in the event of a failed release. When this happens, I also go to the other side to gain room, I have also loosened my drag with my clicker on to get the board falling back but not so fast to slack the line.
I think board spacing is key too
