[font "Calibri"]I for one absolutely hated fighting the board, even the mini’s listed above. I use 8’6” trolling rods for most applications. Trying to get an inline board off a rod at that length under a Bimini is nothing I wanted any part off. Too many fish lost!! For me the home made catamaran style board was the only way to go. The only things I would do different is shorten the overall length by two inches. Mini masts are held in rod holder just forward of the wind shield. Fight the fish, not the board!![/font]

I'd like to see those in action. So is the catamaran hooked to your boat and not your rod? so when the fish hits it releases from the catamaran? sounds almost like a floating downrigger setup, I like it

[font "Calibri"]Edit: To answer your question above I run my boards anywhere from 20’-80’. [/font][/quote]
