Easy Question for the Expeienced

[itsbob]

Most people don't change treble on spoons or put stingers on them.Think church are brand of inline boards.The trutrip 40 is used Alot by charters with the big boards.I have used them on my inline boards,but I feel they they pull too hard.I want my device that gets lure down to pull less than possible.I feel I can read the boards better that way.We use the #2 tadpole to depth of around 25 ft than if need to go deeper put on a 3oz sinker.Good luck.Takes years to be productive using new technipues.Thid forum speeds it up.

We lowered the rear attaching location for the flag, this helps the nose come down and the board pull harder out. The hard part is getting the flags still to work. Just have to play with springs and location, every day depending on the waves it takes a different setting on the flags, bigger waves take a stronger setting, on calmer days I can lighten it up to read smaller fish better. We still end up reading the board as much as the flag. With 3 on side it makes it easier to see 1 board doing something different than just 2. We use releasing clips up front and lockers in the rear. We don't normally have to pull of move boards to get outside boards to clear inside ones. With releases they simple fall back put of line much like a clip coming off a big board set up. When we go back out we don't shuffle board, the middle board goes back to middle same as the outside. Makes it easy to remember depth we were set at plus I normally run my shallows setting on the outside. Fish are not as spoked by the boat, plus it I have a release hang up its easier to get a shallow setting to pass over the deeper without tangle than it is the other way around.

I also try to keep the distance between my boards the same. For example I might put the outside + 100 over feet back, the middle might be +75, and the inside might be +50. When there are not a lot of boats I will spread them more apart running 150/100/50.

The extra space helps reduce tangles but makes turns harder, as much as I hate doing it, sometime I pull the 2 outside boards on the inside b4 turns. I can turn faster without worring about laying tbe boards over and tangling up. The downside is I have less lines in on a turn and turns can be some of the most productive times. Plus they give me an idea of speed changes depending on if fish come on the inside or outside a couple turns in row I will have a idea of speed up or slow down

Branham.. I like the way this set up sounds !! iv been considering loosning my front clips so they snap out and pull back. My question is, do u loose more boards this way? This has been my fear and is why I've hesitated doing this . and how do you set a middle or outside board back without moving the others and getting Tangled iv tried but failed. Thanks in advance!
