I have the tattle flags on all of my boards. They work good when trolling up to about 3 mph and with lures that don't have too much drag. They are really good at letting you know about those small fish. You can also see strikes you miss by seeing the flag jerk down and then pop back up if your looking at the board when a fish hits. They also work good at night with a light on the flag.
I replace the black clips that come with the boards with heavy duty red clips. This prevents the boards from coming off when a big wiper hits and starts ripping the board across the lake. With my wife and I we usually have two boards each out and I don't want to have to go back and pick them up.
Another thing I haven't seen mentioned, you want to troll down wind so when you hook a fish and slow down the wind can keeps your other boards spread out and behind you. You don't want to drift back into your lines. Some times you'll get other hookups while your drifting.
