    There are some planer boards that can handle the tug of a dipsy. It can be a bit tricky because dipsys pull so hard. If you have one pull out of a release clip it will cross all of your other lines on that side. You will have a mess on your hands.
    A better option would be inline weights and jet divers.
    You can stack a few jets off of boards, and run a few dipsys off each side of the boat. This will give you a nice spread through out the water column.

    Keep running your dipsys. The boards will ADD to your spread!

    Size 0 dipsys can be run off of a big board system with no problems. Fished with harnesses, spoons and stickbaits, they can be deadly. We used to run 5 of them to a side on the big boards.

    I stopped using dipsys on big boards because there was too much for a walleye to release IMO. A salmon or steelhead might be ok, but I dragged a lot of walleye around because they would release the dipsy when they hit, but not the board release. I found attaching a weight with a rubber band is much more effective.
