I've been using the Church walleye boards for several years. Never have used off shore but that seems to be the most popular around here. Never talked to someone that did not like them.
What I like most about the church is how easy it is to attack your line in the back. You can also remove them from your line (at both points) with just one hand.
I did have to replace the plastic pin that holds the
line on the back with a stainless steel pin they sell. When a fish runs your line will cut grooves in the pin and eventually saw it in half.
Because or the adjustable weights you can adjust he attitude for the weight of your sinker and also troll crank baits with your big motor.
I also replaced the line releases with another one they sell and had to re glue the pads on every one. They release better than the ones that come with the boards. I might try the off shore releases next if necessary.
Each of the parts mentioned above is about six bucks but I still like the boards because they are so easy to put on and take off.
Never tried the church Striper boards that don't fall over when you stop. Looking at photo I would say that flag on the top has to go. That's just going to get snagged on other lines when they go slack.
The plexiglass boards mentioned above are real easy to make. I think I would use aluminum or lexan though. The tube that holds the line release is an arrow or you can use a solid plastic rod of the size that a Bick pin cap fits snugly and use that for a release.
