Yes, my plan is to use the large inline boards, I have an Amish Outfitters Salmon Duckie for this. I was watching a You Tube and they said if you use #50 braid behind the weighted Steel it will continue to sink. I think it was 50 further down for every 100ft more with the braid backer. Still attach to inline board and adjust depth somewhat. I plan to keep it simple this year and not get carried away playing with backer length too much. I can see where a line counter would help but I know Capt's who use this method without a line counter and know the amount of line per pull. I am sure it is approximate. LOL
