I'm fixing to order some off shore planer boards, plus tadpole weights and had a couple of questions.

1) Are the OR12's (medium size) boards optimum size for cranks and crappie?

2) On tadpoles weights are #1 & #2 weights good enough or are there times when more than 2ounces of weight may be needed?

3) Anyone ever pull jigs under boards with any luck in the murky MS water?

4) I am aware of the Opti planer boards, but the off shore look a little more user friendly, would my observation be correct?
