Planer mast

Have a few questions on planer masts.
1. What’s your take on them? Love them or hate them?
2. Any advice for someone who is about to get one?
3. Who makes a decent one?
4. I’m looking for a place that sells the kits to make your own boards?
thanks in advance for the help.

I have the height adjustable big jon & it is more than sufficient for most folks, & was state of the art when I bought it. I am thinking of replacing it with either Cisco or Great Lakes because of their aluminum reels & stronger masts. But I have boards that pull really, really hard. They are 48”, weIghted with lead, & have rudders

Shotgun are you doing any good on the perch up there lately?

Yes. Near G

I have a big Jon mast and 2 boards with all hard ware like new condition 300$

Tim- you better take him up on that

I mean lunker, u better take tim up on that

Hopefully they keep.it up for the next couple weeks. Gonna try to get back up there 2 weeks from Saturday. I'll keep a eye on the posts. Good luck. Let me know how things are going and if anything changes. Thanks again

Tim. I’m definitely interested. Is the mast adjustable and what kind and size are the boards? I would love to see some pics.
