I have been using the Church boards for several years now and would like you to know that I had the same problem when I first started using them. The problem when fixed, will let you truly enjoy their use.

If the line has already slipped thru the clip the clip is most likely ruined. There is one thing that you can do to get more use out of the clips if the line has destroyed the gripping ability of the clip. You can tighten down the screw as mentioned then you can half hitch a small rubber band between the clip and the pin on the rear of the board. Keep the rubber band close to the front clip. The board will still want to slide down the line to the bait but the rubber band will stop the board from moving. Of course the lure should be left out the proper amount of distance before attaching the board and rubber band . The rubber band will wind right up thru the rod guides and the level wind on the reel so you do not have to remove it each time you retrieve your lure.

Use a Phillips screw driver and tighten down the screw on the front clip. If the clip has been ruined then I would replace it with the super clip ebijack has mentioned. You can get them from Franks Great Outdoors and I believe they come in a 2 pack! Adjust them the same as the standard clip and don’t look back. There should be no line movement once the clip is adjusted right.

I don’t use the OffShore boards so I cannot give any advise on their use.
