On my little 19fter I can easily run 4 boards per side plus a 50 jet on the corner or 3 boards a 50 jet and dipsey. And drag my down trigger ball of wanted depending on how many ppl I have on board.

I use Sam's pro releases on the front and a locker on the rear. Took a little to figure out how to wrap correctly to release but now it works like butter. A tiny pop and it falls out of line to middle and setup straight out the back and it pulls right up. Using gbthe releasing clips I can run my shallow lead on the outside. I dont like dropping boards or shuffling

Depending on traffic I run bait plus 100 on the outside, +70 on middle, +40 inside when running 3 perside.

When running 4 I try to keep at least 25 between boards.......

If I dont go to 40 out on the insides my boards start to slip due to my 7ft rods........I need to find shorter ones I like to help this
