Dipsy's you run without planer boards. Your rod holders have to be able to support more load as the dipsy's pull a lot more than any other method. Most suggest to not use anything less than quality tube mounts. Dipsy's you set how far out they can run by the offset keel/numbers. Your mostly limited to 3 rods/side, not including bouncers off the back corners. Dispy's run better at higher than 1 MPH speeds. Dipsy's will require rods/line capable of handling the extra pull of dipsy's.
Jets if running more than a couple lines would require inline boards. Jets float where dipsy's sink when stalling the boat or doing hard turns. You can run lighter rods/line if not running dipsy's.
If you purchase inline boards, you will have more options for different speeds/lures IMHO. With the inline boards you can run them as close or as far as you like from the boat. Also it is very possible to run 5 boards per side once you learn how. And 2 bouncers off the back corners. Inline boards you can run from .6MPH on up.
Like mentioned, it is a Ford/Chevy choice. Depending on where your fishing, the Western Basin for example, you could run mini disks behind inline boards, and or jets and or cranks or harnesses. Using a different option on each side of the boat. I have friends that will only fish dipsy's, but even more who don't run them much anymore. It is just another option that is available. Each take a learning curve to know if you will like that method or not.I can only hope I have earned the freedom that has been given me.
