Last year we used OR19 (heavy tension orange ones) on the front and OR16 on the back (red with pin in the middle). We like our boards to trip and then just hang in place on the line when reeling in a fish. This year we are going to switch to using the Sam's Pro Release on the front because they allow you to adjust the tension needed to trip the board. We had some trouble with our boards tripping while running heavier rigs or during bumpy seas using the OR19s. Because we run Yellow Birds I would adjust the arm so the board wouldn't pull as hard to prevent it from tripping when this was happening, however the boards don't run as far out to the side when you do this. Having the ability to instead adjust the tension on the front release and keep the board set to pull hard and wide looks very appealing, plus they appear to work very well with super lines eliminating the need to splice in a piece of heavy mono to clip the board onto. I think we are also going to switch out the back release to the OR18 Snapper releases for clipping onto super line. We had a couple boards pop off when the OR16s were clipped onto our PowerPro instead of mono and we want to eliminate that worry.
