In line planer boards?

[Doug N]

Any suggestions on what in line boards work well for trout/salmon?

Church Tackle TX 44 boards. Don't go any smaller than that. Trust me... I've replaced mine, until I got to the TX 44's

I was looking at the Church walleye boards but wasn't sure if they would work with a dipsy. I'll try and find the 44. Finding fishing equipment is getting harder to find. Thank you for the help.

I've had good luck running Ziggy boards, they got a couple different sizes. I run the copper boards and use them for everything up to 300 with no problems. I don't own anything over 300 but they say the "big sexy" boards will pull 600 copper.

Doug - most guys don't run dipsies off inline boards. The Walleye boards are fine for 300 coppers and 10 color leadcores with spoons. I have both types and started out with the TX44's and a problem with them is when they dive on you (especially with a large king on them) they are hell to get in even pointing the rod tip toward the water and I don't even use them anymore. The walleye boards or TX 22's suffice for most things. Dipsies are best run from wire rods of different lengths.

I started running the Offshore SST Pro Mag for kings and musky last year. This year I added Sam's Pro Releases so I'm not fighting the board. Liking it so far.

 

I have a TX44 also and it'll pull heavy stuff. I'm just used to the Offshore style clips so don't care for the way the TX44 connects to the line.

I ordered the Church walleye board. I have a small boat and normally fish 120' or less, I will use the planer with Crank and stick baits once the fish come back in shallow. Should work good for Smallies I would think.

DO NOT run tattle flags on your walleye boards when fishing for kings.  Those wires and springs are not made for chinook.

I am using a Dreamweaver ninja board to pull my 400 copper. Works like a dream, and it's a one handed operation to release.
I run it outside of my dipsy set on a 3 with no problems.
