Off Shore Tackle's OR-38 is small enough to run jigs and roadrunners shallow but also big enough to handle cranks the size of Pico INTs or Bandits. If you want a bigger board with a tattle flag, they make the OR-12. My eyes aren't as good as they once were so in summertime I like to run the OR-12 sized board with tattle flag. It takes some practice to be able to trip the front release but watch the videos on the Off Shore Tackle web site or Facebook page to learn it.

Many folks don't realize one must let out the same amount of line from the crankbait to the board as you normally would from the crank to the rod tip THEN clip the board on and let it out as far as you please. I use my line-counters reels just like if I was pulling cranks without boards. I rarely run big boards with clients but they love the small boards in shallow water. There is a learning curve to boards as Chris will tell you but they really add another arrow to your quiver if you'll take the time to learn.
