Wanted: walleye boards

Brand new tx-44 walleye boards going to $60+. I'm looking to spend $40 + shipping for used port & starboard.

[King Slammin]

What are you going to be pulling? Tx44 is only good for 200-300 coppers and 10 colors of core. Unless your using heavy drop weights, they don't pull very well with clean lines

Yep, they don't pull well empty, but we've run 400--500' coppers off them too without problems. Great boards.

Going to pull slide divers, pro weight system (50/50 method) or deep diving cranks. But if I can use tx-22 for pro weight system 1\2 oz-3 oz wieght and deep divers that would be better. Then I could skip slide divers altogether. What do you think ?

Its for trolling bows/browns in clear water up to 30', and walleye in various water clarity. Finger lakes.

Yeah, 30.99 per board tx-44's. That's without flag system, which I prefer to have, but not a requirement. Found a pair on other site for 50 but then pay shipping. All the same. I don't mind used as long as they're decent and function properly.

I'm looking for used. I'm already in the $100's on my shop list. Trying to keep cost down.

[King Slammin]

Tx22's or walleye boards will be fine for what you want to do. Tx44's will not run well in that application. Tattle flags are nice if running harnesses or clean lines on tx22 and walleye boards but don't waste the money on them for tx44 and long coppers or full cores.

Definitely don't need 44s for your application 22s will serve you very well

OK thanks for the help guys ! That helps my pocket book and angling experience. Thanks much.

The plain walleye boards with no flags are what I run when I'm using inlines. You couldn't pay me to run the flags. The linkage grabs weeds and in the fingers weeds are an everyday battle. I'd get new ones with the heavy clip suitable for braid.

The flags would be pulled down with the added drag of divers or weights also, making them useless

Yeah, I'm not running with flags. I don't think they are necessary. Maybe if I was targeting crappie

[guffins fisherman]

The 22's are what you want.

Thanks guffins. Thanks everyone ! Buying 22's

The flag tension is adjustable therefore you can run any deep divng crank and not worry about the flag pulling down just from your bait

Flags make them easier for other boaters to see as well. They also make a good place for lights or reflective tape when fishing at night

I run the flags on every board, but do not run the spring system.

I'm talking about slide divers and dipsy's and multiple lead core. I run walleye boards and 4 colors of leadcore with a spoon pulls the tattles down with them on the high tension setting

[Landshark]

You run dipsys off the boards? Or just the cores?

Capt. Michael Weaver. Pure Fishing Ambassador

[steelydan]

I only pull leadcore but in his fifth post he said he wants to pull slide divers and 50/50 weight system, that's why I told him the tattles would be pulled down by either making them useless

Yes that's a lot of drag

22's (AKA walleye boards) with or without a stationary flag is perfect for what he wants to do.
