My father and I tried planer boards (inlines) for the first time a month ago. It is pretty easy to figure them out. Tattle flags helped a lot, and by the end of the second day I was pretty adept at knowing when they had been hit.

They're very straight forward. Just make sure if you're using tattle flags to leave enough slack between the two clips to allow the flag to work. Thanks to the good folks on here, we never made that mistake. But I could see where it would have been easy to overlook to someone new. Also, I'd recommend Church "The Walleye" boards. I know a lot of guys on here prefer other brands, but I really like the pin on the back of the board, it kept us from having to circle back for a board a few times.

I'll try to dig up a few videos to post on here when I get home. Can't get on Youtube at work. Good luck!
