[quote dubob][font "Comic Sans MS"][#800000]Bingo; and you are welcome. Are you paying attention Old Coot?[/#800000][/font][/quote]
Actually, I am paying attention Bob. And I must agree that not having to bring in those boards with the fish is a considerable plus.
Since looking at your pictures and plans, I have been thinking about the concept more.
One thing that still makes me think I'd still stay with my style of board is that once a fish is on my board line, it "stays out there" for a while longer while reeling it in. That time that the board is coming in, gives my partner a chance to reel in the straight-back rod to get it's line out of the way to prevent tangling.
But yea DB, I must retract my earlier judgment until I have an opportunity to try your style of boards firsthand some day.
Speaking of which, I'd get a kick out of trolling Willard with you in your boat some time and learn a thing or two (hint ... hint).
