My question is that why can't I use the boards like the way people tightline. If I want my minnow or jig to run at lets say 20ft why couldn't I use a drop shot or carolina rig with a 1/2,3/4, or 1oz bullet weight. That way I can let out 20ft attach my board and I know that my bait will be running at 20ft. Sorry this seems so long winded It just drives me nuts not knowing much line to let out.
