I'll just second what Mike said. This spring we've been fishing with 4 boards on a side and dive bombs of different weight off each board. We've found them to be very easy to work with. As Mike stated, watch your speed. If the boat or your board are going too slow when setting the lines and you get to much line out, your bait and lure will sink right to the bottom. I learned that the hard way when we pulled in lines and a couple of lures had hooks full of mussels. Also be aware of your speed when making your turns. If you turn to sharp, your furthest inside board is barely moving. With a dive bomb on it, your bait it will sink like a rock.
