fortunate with this years mild weather to have been walleye Fishing Lake Erie out of Monroe. Today had problem loosing connection with a board that has occurred several times. The steel wire connected from the flag to the back clip becomes unattached at the flag. L shaped end just comes out of the holee. The clip and wire stay attached to the line while the board is left behind for a time consuming recovery drill. Considering replacing the wire with thin wire cable with crimped loops at each end. Anyone else have this problem? Other solutions? Today for quick fix I removed the flag assembly and reattached the back clip directly to the steel eye at the back of the board. the flag signal seems unreliable anyway.
