In line board questions

[branhamautomotive]

New to pulling offshore in lines. We are running braid, so we have snapper clips up front with the safety pins, out back we have churches adjustable flat pads.

Questions are on the back clips, when the fish pull back, do I want that line to be able to come out, or should we set those or double loop to keep them from coming off?

Second which order of releasing the line from the board do ppl find less likely to put slack in the line or knock fish off. Front first or last.

Third when running 3 lines a side and fishing a spread say 40 to 80 back, does it work best to put longer leads to the inside or outside. I know as boards come in and out that order will change. I ask cause we got lines crossed with a fish on. I thought I gave enough time for the fish to rise up, which leads to the next question ,

On pull back how long should you wait to reel. Or do you take a few cranks before removing from rod holder.

And last, how much space should be left between boards, cause I guess that could cause a cross up as well.

Thanks for any help or pointers.
