Lots of great info here. Thanks to all! I'm not too concerned about matching the boards early in my learning curve only because the resale value of good fishing & trolling gear seems to be very good. I've checked several of the auction sites and good equipment in good condition goes for 80%-90% of it's original value. One thing I learned reading here and other articles is if you're running several poles it seems to be more important they are all the same so you can eliminate the variables created by having different rods and reels. Given that I'll probably get a set of the Church's and TT 30's and give them a try. Hopefully I can find some walleye and not sheephead.
