I hear ya.....yep. if I catch more than a cat or two I change colors. You ought to try planer boards and catch a 7 pound cat on one.....will tangle every line you got both sides of the boat before you can get it in.
I'm glad you brought that up I been wantin to get some planers myself do you have to get a full size board or will the mini boards work with crankbaits?
