Then trolling inline boards always put the longest lead on outside board.When running 3 boards a side let the board drift straight out the back of boat till it is far enough out to lock reel and pulls into position.I usually have my boards about 30ft difference in separation on the counter.The one tangle I got running the three boards this year was when I wanted to change a bandit color on the middle board.Somehow it grabbed the line from the inside board and created a mess.Had no tangles when brought in fish though.
