Can I ask how deep you were running the harnesses?

a 2oz offshore snap weight 45 back t 1.5 mph puts your bait 20 ft. down.

I was having a hard time with dipsy divers yesterday. Kept getting tangled with my drop weight pole. Thought about not using the dipsies and using boards but didn't think the smaller board could handle the weight. Still caught a few keepers and a bunch of smalls. Thanks for the report.

you should have went to the boards. I've fished on a charter that fished the central basin that used 3 oz inline weights with inline boards and did great.

We have used a 3oz weight in front of harnesses with our inline boards with no problem.Use the 3oz to get deeper.We would normally use the #2 Tadpole if fish are 25 ft or shallower and they work great too with our inline boards.

I would have tried that but thought it would be to much weight. Good to know. I'll add that to my arsenal next time.

All of these work good. I used the tadpoles for several seasons. They work great with spoons too and any light weight lure/harness. For crank baits, I love clip on weights. Very little drag so they work with light lures that do not dive much and the in-line planer board like em.. But I really love the clip on weights for crank baits. From my 1970’s adolescence terminology, They are: The ��*⬛ ass!!!! 50 back clip on the weight then know your weight curve and lure curve and let it out a bit above your marks.
