since theres no fishing to talk about i have a question maybe someone can help me with. i just built planner boards for my boat. how much weight do you run on the back board or do you weight both of them or just on the back and how much weight do you use to keep them from flipping. they are 1x8 28 inches long 2 wide.
I use a different type of board (Otters). They have about 2.5lbs of lead for ballast on the bottom of the fin. FYI. Hope this helps.
Good Luck and Good Fishing
joe, I have two sets of boards that are great one small and one large (32" and 42") that you can duplicate.. I will loan them to you to try and duplicate.. let me know..
I have made 3 sets of boards and have never added any weight but the eyelet for pulling the board needs to be in the right location for the boards to work correctly. I take a drill with me or drill mutipal holes. One last thought if your boat bobs around alot and pulls the boards out and causes slack in the line then tightens up you can buy snubbers to help with that. Good luck
Do you have any pictures of them?Quote:
