[font "Calibri"]I for one absolutely hated fighting the board, even the mini’s listed above. I use 8’6” trolling rods for most applications. Trying to get an inline board off a rod at that length under a Bimini is nothing I wanted any part off. Too many fish lost!! For me the home made catamaran style board was the only way to go. The only things I would do different is shorten the overall length by two inches. Mini masts are held in rod holder just forward of the wind shield. Fight the fish, not the board!![/font]

[font "Calibri"]Edit: To answer your question above I run my boards anywhere from 20’-80’. [/font]
