    I’m not sure what you mean? My rods are mounted across the back of my boat but I wrap my line on the front clip so I don’t have the problem with the braid slipping. I have to bring my boards in on the side. Maybe I’m one of the “odd” people you are referring to.

    We don't have to say odd, you can call it different. When your running 6 or more little boards and you hook into a 10+lb fish that totally sinks your board farthest from the boat. It naturally wants to go back and to the middle, how in the world do you get it to come up the side without moving all the boards on that side out of the way? For me the farther forward you can get your boards to run and a fish naturally goes back and to middle, all you have to do give the fish a few seconds to pull the board back and he reels right down the middle without moving anything?

    Since I don’t release my small boards from the clip the direction of the board keeps it moving to the side. Are you saying I can still get the board to move to center when it is still in the front clip? I’m trying to learn from you. Maybe I’m doing it wrong.

    I'm not saying your wrong, just seems harder way of doing it. My little boards aren't set to release either.

    Help me out here. I want to learn the easiest way to do this. How do you keep your board from following the angle that brings it to the side? No matter how I reel them in they always go to the side they are set up for. I can never get them to fall behind and go to the back. I have dragged fish without knowing before and the board still doesn’t go to the back. And when I start reeling it in it ALWAYS goes to the side that the angle on the board cuts it to. I simply turn the boat slightly to give me room to bring it in. I don’t pull any other boards and I do run 3 per side.
