planner board help

[Jfish]

From what I understand about side planers (off shore boards) crankbaits are the way to go.

When you buy crankbaits look at the depth capabilities. You can also add snap weights to the line.

There is a really thick book that I own that tells the depths of a lot of them but I can't think of what it's called.

I've been told that you can use jet divers on those boards but not the big ones. You won't want to use crank baits on the jets either.

Hope this helps.

p.s. I have a Big Jon Planer mast and big boards that I'm thinking of getting rid of. Let me know if you might be interested.

You must upgrade to the snapper release clips on the boards first or you will be chasing boards all over the lake. You can pull jets behind the boards. I myself pull the 40's. It will take some getting used to the feel of a fish with a #40 behind it. The best way i like to fish with boards is with a crawler harness and just drift along with the 2 outside boards way out and 2 lines straight out the back. Those boards act like bobbers when you do this.
