This is just a suggestion, but check out the planner boards that are red in color (I forget the brand). Walleye guys use them too. They are more adjustable and way cheaper than the big boards. The clip that attaches to your line works with any line, even super lines, and if it slips off due to wind/waves you can tighten it up. With the yellow boards you have to buy special clips. They can handle bigger baits too. Even 10″ jakes. Yes the board will be buried a bit, but it still floats and gets the bait away from the boat. The big board set up will cost you about $500.00 for the whole set up, whereas about $50.00 for two walleye boards. The bigger set-up is probably the way to go, but for just starting out the walleye boards are much more cost effective and more portable, and they take up awhole lot less space. Plus you can use them to troll for other fish too.
