Might I suggest when running inline boards, once the board and bait are out where you want them, clicker on, lighten the drag to just where it does not constantly click. Once in awhile is good. Tougher in rough water as the board jump the waves but still doable. This will alert you to something happening. Anything other than what the weight that is being pulled ( board and bait) should make the clicker click!
I don't run church boards on my boat, on friends boats that do run them, like mentioned. The Church boards run different than the Offshore so keep one brand on one side, the other on the other side of the boat. With the Offshore, I'd suggest scrapping the springs, and use #32 ? rubber bands. Cut a V notch at the top hole at the front of the board, put the rubber band either looped around the flag stem or around the wire then around the clip arm. The rubberband will stay in place and you can adjust the tension perfectly in seconds. I've been doing this for many years.
