I'm no expert at this, I have big board's an if a fish hits the high outside leed ,I don't know how to replace it, without tearing the other rods down, unless your running all the same leeds, then just slide them out. I don't have offshore boards ,but see that you can fish one back into that spot, I considered going your way. But I'm still very new to this card game. I built my own boards an mast, an enjoy tinkering with them, that's part of the experience for me, I been getting great information from the guy's on here, and in the process of weighting my boards more .
