Walleye S E of Kelly's

[badboards]

Makes sense. These boards are older the brand name is Rivera. The have hinges to open and close. They are plastic with foam core. I'm wondering if I had them backwards. I had the Pointed edge going forward but the white foam faced out and yellow plastic faced in. That to me seemed weird.

possibly upside down?

That would be the correct position. The "pointy end" would be beveled, to make the board go out away from the boat....just like the little inline boards.

Sounds like they were just too light for the job. The mainline should be relatively tight, so the fish can be detected by watching the rod tips. Most charters I've been on, that run big boards, didn't have rubber bands breaking most of the time, either.

replace the foam core with wood

There is a thought. I might give that a try. Probably can glue them in. Have you done this before. What kind of wood. Probably treated cedar would be good.

make your big boards out of Azek
