Quote "Last question I've got is, do we need to buy spare clips for the boards?"Unquote


There is no back release clip on the Church Boards, the board is held on the line with a pin in the back of the board. The front clip is the one and only clip that holds the line in the proper set depth position. You should not have any problems with those front clips as long as you adjust them tight enough so the line does not slip thru it, it is adjusted for tightness with a small Phillips screw driver. If you fail to adjust it tight enough (pull on the line after it is inserted into the clip to check for slippage there should be absolutly none!) under the actual fishing use the slippage of the line thru the clip will cut the rubber gripping surface and render that clip useless as the board will slide all the way down to your bait. In 10 years I have replaced 4 clips due to me failing to check for slippage those are the only 4 clips that I have replaced out of 6 boards. Check the clip for slippage with both dry and wet line, the same line that is going to be on your fishing rods. It is much easier to check it while still at home when you assemble your new boards.
