Tru trip 40s

I went to the TT 30's and TX 22 boards, the 30's don't pull as hard as the 40's behind those boards.

I pull TT 40's behind offshore boards and they do just fine. Definitely tugs the back end down, but its kind of like putting an extra split shot on your slip bobber with it being a little more loaded.

That sounds like the TX-22 boards as they also squat in the back. Once that TT-40 trips the board comes back up level with a small fish on. It is a dead giveaway that you have been hit or are towing a small fish and that makes reading the boards easier. That squatting in the rear is probably what the guys that claim the OffShore Boards don't work well with TT-40s are referring to.

Earlier this year I had initially set a new TT-40 to tight and it did not trip as intended, my grand son noticed that the board that it was attached to was about a foot behind the other 3 boards in the spread, I had him check it and it had a white bass about 6" long hooked up on the spoon! Walleye boards also will handle the TT-40s but lag behind some if the counter wt. is not set just right.
