I've run the TX-44, 22 and Walleye boards. I love the 22s and have run up to 4 per side without any trouble. I regularly pull 10 color cores and up to 300 coopers with them. If the seas are a little rougher the 300 cooper goes on the TX-44. The Walleye boards are a different story and have given up on them. Mine constantly would get pulled under water even by the smallest fish.
I like to save a little money on my rods and use Cabela's Depthmaster brand. Not sure who manufactures them but the quality is decent and the soft action is awesome for FLT trout and eyes.
Sutton,
Just tighten the front pinch pad. If you're using brand the board may release, but doing a wrap around the pinch pad will solve that. I love my 22s and 44s.
I might take some flack for this, but a knock off called KastKing. It's a cheap Chinese brand, but very strong and comes in large spools. You can buy it in any color and lb test from Amazon. I like yellow for my backing, very easy to see.
Considering adding tracks to our Starcraft. Will be mounting a rigger and rod tree at least per side. I'm concerned about the tracks ability to hold up using heavy weights deep. Anyone have experience running 14lb weights at depths over 100 feet? I'm running Mag 10s with 2 foot booms.
