What is the best way to make sure that my reef runners are running properly? is there a machine or something that tunes these?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Shawns speed vs. water temp. conversion is pretty close, but bottomline you have to let the fish tell you what speed they prefer. For example if you make an "S" turn and the board on the outside of the turn takes a hit then maybe the eyes want the speed a little faster or if the inside board takes the hit then maybe a little slower. Very rarely do I keep the same speed for extended periods of time. I get more hits on turns and fluctuations / reductions in the trolling speed. This triggers the eyes into committing versus following behind the bait swimming along at the same constant speed. A lot of people take the trolling Captain for granted when they are working the rods, but the trolling Captain can make a mediocre/ bad day into a great one.How fast do you guys troll these usually? or does it all depend on certain conditions and things, like most fishing?
I usually flat line troll all my cranks or use jetdivers, but I have bought planerboards this year and this will be the first time using the boards.
