Thread: Planer Boards

Here are a few different ways you can rig a planer board:

Well..... did anyone ever take a video on how to get a big fish in past the other planer boards?

tommy, do you guys use different length rods with the boards you guys use. With the ones we use, we use longer rods up front and go shorter as you go back to get the outside fish around the other boards

would like to see a video ,what length rods do yall use

this might have been asked before but I didn't find it anywhere

what type and action of rods do you guys pull boards with also what lengths

7 foot medium heavy. (All identical for easy rotation) I have tried Medium but kept breaking the last six inches off. Never broken medium heavy.

I've been using 8'ers because I already had them, but the rod length should be 6-8' long so you can reach the board to remove it when you reel in a fish or change baits. No long poles needed for this technique. Use the shorter rods you already have as long as they have a stiffer action to pull the boards.
