You got to be setting these boards up wrong. You don't need to adjust the weights. Try pointing your rod to the front of the boat and board will track according. What I find out is you really can't run the 44 to far away from the boat. I only use them for 400 and up to 600 coppers. Anything smaller I run 22's all lead cores up to 12 core are also ran on 22.
