Planer mast

[lunker05]

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

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