The larger Church TX 44's have a strong tendency to dive so I don't use mine anymore. Big boards are fine if you have the setup for them. They require some thought when setting up (mast in the front or reels attached to sides of boat or top and a lot depends on your particular boat) but you had mentioned you're intending to use inlines to pull cranks or sticks so that was what I was responding to. You also didn't mention them being possibly used by children or unfamiliar people so that is a consideration as mentioned as they wouldn't have to be directly involved in the use of big boards - just handling the rods. The big boards are good for all around use e.g. waves and rough water and higher boat speeds.

Hey Mike I noticed on the cover it said 2006 EPA standards so I would assume it was around then? -
With the Walleye boards the weights at the bottom need to be adjusted correctly and inline boards aren't as good as big boards in rough water. Inlines may dive initially but if brought in steadily with the rod tip down a bit they should be fine. I don't usually run mine a long way out from the boat for a couple reasons so they come in pretty rapidly.

That is where I draw the line too Bill. -
I hear ya Bill protesting is one thing rioting is another

I think you'll be happy with them. I don't allow mine to release but unhook them as I bring the fish in

I know Tim and I wasn't questioning your intention. A lot of folks out there are very and perhaps overly sensitive in some cases and the image of someone sitting in a tree stand taking out somebody regardless of what they are doing may not be all that funny right now. These are very different times than usual and I'm not some ultra leftist goody goody either afraid of offending someone per se. and during "normal" times this probably wouldn't get somebody upset but not everyone on the Internet seeing things is psychologically stable either. Tuffishooker you are correct and I share your viewpoint about differences of opinion and the fact that people on this site are good folks. As far as the covid is concerned China caused it but there is a lot of other stuff going on right now closer to home that has some raw nerves exposed and the combination right before a highly explosive election suggests that maybe it isn't a good idea to add fuel to the fire for some people who may take the joke seriously as threatening because rioting and violence has been mixed in with peaceful protests even right here (e.g. Rochester).

Church Tackle TX 22's or Walleye boards work well. I even run 10 color leaccore and 300 coppers off them. I'd stay away from the larger TX44's for that use.

Not real good idea to go there right now. These are very precarious times right now (covid, violent protests, people on edge etc.)

This help any? -
Good luck with it.

I wasn't aware of the Traxtech adaptation. I think this may be what Mr. 580 was referring to https://www.traxstech.com/A_600_617_Adapter_Plate_with_S_17PC_Rod_Holder_p/a-600-617.htm

It should be noted that in the original post you mentioned that you intended to use the track system with Down East Salty rod holders. These rod holders were not actually designed with a track system in mind. You would need some type of base for them to be mounted to that would slide into the track. If memory serves me correctly the base would be about 3 and 1/4 inches wide by 4 inches long. You would also probably need to lift the Down Easters up a bit for clearance of the rod positions as normally those rod holders are affixed to either the transom or gunwales. Bert's makes a pedestal for tracks that could elevate the holders with adaptation while located within the track. It is normally used outside the track to elevate the track but will also fit inside the track.

Looking good Kevin -
After looking closely at that first example I am struck by the arrowhead shaped scales down the center line and the very elliptical shape of the eye which looks as though t is tilted in an upward position.....none of the examples of baitfish I have looked at seem to have those features.
