Makes sense, FishFinder and I've heard some switching to the clip with metal pin for their back release. We're using church tackle walleye boards which come with a pin and slot in the back, so risk of losing a board is pretty minimal. One thing I've learned is start out on the loose side when adjusting the release. They don't require much tension unless fishing in heavier waves. Definitely makes changing out lures easier when a person can trip the outside board, etc. Good luck!
