Keating fishe lake Michigan I believe and they have 5 fish limit there. 17 isn't that far of a stretch I gathered from talking to others at show that fish same wAter I think it was blood run guys I talked to about it

Not sure I get your point. As I see it, 17 fish is 17 fish. Why does it matter what the limit is? (No snark intended).

Thanks brother.

So the sinking depth of the line is not an issue? 

That was a good video. Thanks.

I assume that big boards are used all year long (for copper and LC) and not just for spring browns.  I guess my confusion is in how you would reset a 150' copper line (outside) when you have both 300' (middle) and 400' (inside) copper lines on the same board?  Are the other lines deep enough that it does not matter pulling them in close to reset the 150'?  I cannot see that you would just run the other lines out farther on the board and then run the 150' inside the 300' and 400'.  That seems like a mess waiting to happen.  I also cannot see having to reel in the 300' and 400' to reset the 150'.  That seems to be incredibly inefficient.

New to fishing the big water for salmon/trout (I grew up a trib rat in MI).  Will primarily be fishing Lake Michigan.  Most guys on lake MI use the walleye boards, stating that they fish three or four lines per side and resetting lines with big boards is a PIA or "a tangle waiting to happen".  The ability to fight a fish with a clean line appeals to me.  Since most fisherman on Lake O seem to favor big boards, I figured this is the place to get an education on the topic.  That said, I have a few questions about deploying and running a big board rig.  If these questions are answered in a sticky, video or website tutorial, let me know. 

(1) How many lines do you typically run on a side?  I will most likely run two lines to a side.  Are walleye boards a better solution, given the relatively small number of lines?  

(2) How do you reset your lines without pulling them all in?  Do you reel the clips in and then attach the new line and then reset them all down the line?  How do you avoid tangling your deployed lines? 

(3) With walleye boards, the line and board are typically run down the chute and then the board pulls the line into place.  Do you drop the line down the chute with a big board and then clip it to the planer line?  Can you run the lines down the side of the boat first and then set them off the side?  If so, is clearing the diver rods a problem? 

(4) Can you use rod trees with big boards or is it better to have individual holders?  I assume that you would you load the trees with the outside rod/line on the top and work your way down.  Is this correct?

Thanks for the help.

Tried looking around the Internet didn't really find what I was looking for. 

I guess the question is "what is it that you are looking for?"  As the previous responses show, there are lots of blanks available.  What is it that you did not like about the ones that you looked at?  Kinda' hard to suggest suitable suppliers without any details - big spoons, little spoons, nickel, copper, hammered, etc.?

I would add www.lurepartsonline.com to the list of suppliers already posted. 

Check out www.lurepartsonline.com  They have all sorts of ice jigs and spoons for cheaper than about anywhere else.  No tungsten though.  Biggest problem is that I always end up buying five of this and five of that...
