Been using my boards for about a month now. The more I use them the more I like them. Learning curve is relatively small. They really allow one to cover a lot of water.

The boards really do make a difference, and they are easy to learn. I am using the Lil Hustler as my research and talking with different folks led me to them. Saved some $'s as well!Quote:

Caught a nice limit this morning on Ft. Loudon. Caught about 1/2 the fish on my new Lil Spoiler planer boards. Second time out with them and I'm starting to get the hang of it.
Do you guys use your trolling motor to pull them and if so what pound thrust is required?
I've pulled my Lil' Spoilers with a 55 pound PowerdriveV2 , 80 pound Terrova and now 101 pound Terrova. It all depends on the size and build of your boat. I don't pull mine much over 1.0mph when running jigs or roadrunners. I use a larger Opti board when pulling cranks at 1.5-2.0mph.Quote:

No bitterness Jeff. We are just covered up and can't make them fast enough. Just stating facts if they buy your product you can answer the question. I'm too busy to get in a pissing match and won't. As for quality we make ours just like you do and you know it. Have a joyous Easter my friend and to your family.
Just kidding you. Same here Chris. Happy Easter to you and your family. I'm off Tuesday and Wednesday call me and we will go fishing.
