Church TX44 board problems

Thank you much, wakina. I'll give that a try, and yes they do pull hard. Is there another alternative that will work equally well pulling 40 jets? Thanks again.

I have been pulling the jet 40's which I have not used in 3 or 4 years and then the newer tru-trip 40s with the TX-22 boards for several years, and before that I was pulling the jet 40's with the regular walleye boards by Church Tackle. Yes they pull a little harder and move a little more to the back but they still form that V away from the boat. The bottom line is that, they get the job done without any problems, you would be surprised.

I pull the Church TX-22's and have had them slip some with the thinner diameter braid. I just wrap the line around the bottom of the clip and back through the jaws a second time and haven't had any more problems. It only takes a fraction of a second longer to set. When reeling in a fish, just open the clip and the line comes right out.

Once the braid slips thru the clip that Particular clip is useless for use as intended, and you can wrap them as imrsmk has indicated, there is an upgraded clip available that will hold braid really well. It is churchs super clip and they cost about $15 for a 2 pack.

I just upgraded one of my old clips that came with the original set of TX-22 boards. I had already upgraded my other original board. The thinner the braid the more likely it is to slide thru the clip.

It is imperative that you have that clip adjusted tight enough so the braid does not slip thru it. Also make sure that you get the line as far back into the clip as possible when attaching your board. One way to check is to take a short pc. of the line that you are using on your reel and try to pull it thru the clip, if it slips a little bit tighten down the tension screw until you have no slippage with a moderate pull.
