Would help if I could but I can't yet. I retrofitted 6 of my boards last year. The pull tension feels really good for the flag and it is easily adjustable. I thought it might be nice to help with not dragging a fish once in a while, especially at slow speeds.

But....mine don't work as the line slips through the rear red release.
So, it doesn't keep the slack between it and the front release. I'm using 15# mono.

I'm thinking it may be because my boards are 4-5 years old so the pads in the rear releases may be worn smooth? I'm going to put new pads on the during this off-season and see.

Anyone else experience this?
