Answer is yes they do! They make them squat in the rear while in the fish finding mode (set) but once they are tripped the boards come up in the rear and run level. That is fine with me as it makes them much easier to read! I do not run them with the tattle tail flags as I feel that I do not need them and the tattle tail flags make it just a tad bit harder to reset the lines, I am also the impatient kind of guy when the bite is hot. I settled on the TX-22 boards over the Walleye Boards only because they set upright in the water when at rest or if they would happen to come off due to not being installed properly.
I also run TT 40's behind the Church Tackle Walleye Boards when I need an extra set of boards out. When in the spread of mixed boards all of the boards form that nice V off of both corners of the boat. I also have and occasionally use a set of the Church Tackle TX-44 Boards, I improvised a stock set of the tattle tail flags for them as they pull so hard it makes them next to impossible to read when you have a small fish on, I believe that they now offer the TT flags for the TX-44 boards. I do not recommend using TX-44's unless you are using them with rods capable of handling a dipsey diver because of how hard they pull.
Remember on calm flat days (waves 1 ft. or less) run your boards further from the boat. example would be 80, 60, 40 then maybe off of the corners on rougher days you can usually run them closer, example would be 60, 40, 20 then off of the corners.
Trying to compare a inline weight, jet diver or TT 40 behind the inline boards would be like comparing apples to oranges as any of the three methods would make the board run at a different angle. It would be similar to a truck running down the highway with no trailer, a small 2 wheel trailer or pulling your boat and trailer each situation produces different results. The end result is that the truck gets the job done under all 3 scenarios and so do the in line boards with the 3 different types of lure presentation.
