Thread: Planer Boards ?

Make my own.

Mine can be found in a dumpster. Nobody can say I won't give a product more than a fair shake but I will also be brutally honest about my experiences with that product. I bought several sizes of the "planer corks" and used them EXACTLY how the manufacturer recommended. All I had from them was disappointment and frustration. They wouldn't run in formation like regular planers will, some would tumble and even try to dive. I even tried them in ways I thought might work but were different from what the maker said to do. Nothing worked as advertised. I cut my losses and tossed them in the trash.

I own the "Lil Hustlers" (I think that is what he calls them) that tenncrappie makes. They are exactly the same board as the Crappie Sharks and he had the blessing of the guy who made the Crappie Sharks to start producing them. I also own Yellow Birds,Opti, Church, Off-shore, you name it, I've tried it. For small boards, I like the tenncrappie board for out of the package use. I've had to modify some of the others to fit my needs. I will always use the Optis with the flag kit for medium to large crankbaits.

BTW, I've bought each and every one of the boards I mentioned. Not a penny from any of them was given to me to try a product. Lots of folks pushing items do so because they are paid to or given merchandise for good publicity.
