Now Greg, I need help getting my boards to run again...I went to the CISCO reels (Jim knows how to spend my money...) it changed my angle of tow line, so they track different, everytime I went out I broke the snubbers at the board from all the tourqin this year- so I went to a bungee system along bow rails that everyone uses, then they were too short so the 500lb tow line had no give to it at all, the waves were stripping all 6 lines at a time like a white bass school. I kept blaming it on the crew not setting the line and/or rubber bands in clips deep enough, till I looked back an noticed how tought the tow line was. You could play it like a guitar string, so I made longer bow rail bungies, and never got to try them do to running out of season---well next year.

If anyone reading has had problems with the lovely snubbers breaking, here is what I did, only because before they starting breaking my system ran fine. Take on appart and look whats inside of the sergical tubing... Its like a damn thread....why would the manufacture put such weak line in them, when they sell 150 to 500lb line to hook to?? SOOOO, I re-built the snubbers with a doubled up line of the 500lb specta inside of tubing, so when the snubbers bottom out the 2 lines of 500lb will GRAB! Now for the back up, I ran small saftey cable along the snubber, so if (!) they do break loose- the cable will then take the tension, saving your clips and patience to go through the pack of boats to retrieve you planner board AGAIN... Will give it a good test in spring- - To all.. get those boats readys, its gonna be a FAST winter
