Jumbo Church Boards

[anthonyyost]

I was in Jay's Sporting Goods in Clare the other day and saw that the Church Walleye Board has a jumbo size for copper and leadcore. Anyone seen or tried?

X44's. They are HUGE. Not very friendly on the pocketbook either.

I've not tried them yet, but they look interesting.

I only run 300 copper at most so far.

I bet when you start getting into 450's and stuff they are almost necessary.

You can run dropper balls off them too.

Im trying to get a contract with Church to advertise my business on the back side so all the boats going by will see my picture and phone number.

We got on with the church program this year. I'm going to be running 4 of them this summer, very excited about it. Iv heard you can run them just like you reg copper core rods. They dont seem to pull as hard as you think.

They were about $30.00 a piece at Jay's.

If you check out their website, they've got a video of those boards pulling a dipsy!

30 bucks is not really that bad. I think the walleye boards are 26?

[Adam Bomb]

IMO, for what an inline board really is, they are way over priced.

I have run them on a friends boat. Thay ran great late last fall running leadcore and torpedo divers behind them.

And all inline's are way over priced if you ask me.

I did "bite." Bought a couple. Awaiting deeper season. I did get tired if the walleye boards in waves sometimes diving while pulling long copper.

The TX-44 will pull just about anything that we use in the Great Lakes. I pulled a 600' copper last fall to just to see how they would do. The 600 rode just as nice as if it was a 300 on a walleye board. There was no problem bringing fish in on them either just point the tip of the rod down to the water and start reeling. As far as rough water I used them in 4'-6' following seas and they didn't sink with a fish on them.
