Wow, I recently found out you can run a ten-color with braid backer on a Church Walleye Board if you move the weight all the way forward and do a few other things. First, you need to replace the plastic rear pin on the board with a stainless steel rear pin that you can order online. Second, you hang the board using the steel pin and give it a few spins to create some twists in the line. Lastly, you attach the board to the front clip and send it out. I did this in Grand Haven a few days ago and it worked great. Kudos to the Church Tech Team for giving me this tech tip.
You can run a 10 color off an offshore walleye board and the only adjustments you need to the board are none . I run braids then a lead of high visibility mono I attach the board to.
I use them for 10 color. I wrap the braid around the front clip so it doesn't slip and it hasn't failed. The bigger boards help with long coppers though.
Try Nija boards made by dream weaver and will not look back!!! game changer, No more sunk boards. Use um with anything 450 copper down to 3 color lead. Easy removal, push the button turn your wrist.. Another mistake people make while using boards while salmon fishing is keeping your rod high and tip bent. WRONG point your rod tip right at the board and reel when fish is not taking drag!!! do not raise your rod tip till the board is removed.
Second time I've heard that in a week. I lost a tank of a fish last weekend after the board dunked behind the boat. My retired Charter Captain neighbor said "I know it doesn't sound right, but next time point the tip at the board".
I still think a set of Ninjas would be a good idea for 10 color. They're on my list.
I've ran them for years without any upgrades. They work for everything I need them to do out of the box. I am going to try the ninja boards this year for longer lead rigs or coppers.
Any recommendations on a board to use on cooper anyone? Been trying the same thing myself and they sag ass real bad lol. Can hardly get them any more than 15ft outside the boat.
1 season with ninjas and they are nice boards, nice one hand operation with them and pulls everything I run, that said they don’t pull as hard out to the side as my ziggy boards, so if I need to use both I have to make sure ninjas are outside boards
I have a pair of Ninja boards that I run 150 and 200 copper with. A little disappointed with how far back they pull the lines. I got them to move the board forward a bit on the troll. Any tips on getting them to move forward more? Weight adjustments? Seems like they should pull light coppers like this closer to midships. Oh, and I have the big ones.
I replaced my Church boards with the Ninja boards when Dreamweaver had a sale. I love the one handed release. They work well with both my 10 color and 250' weighted steel. Glad I decided to make the change.
No need to change anything if you know how to run them other than shift the weight.
