Eye Tamer,
Your Big John Planner reels both electric and the manual come standard with 150lb test line. Those boards pull so hard that 3 times they snapped our 150lb planner line sending our clips to the bottom of the lake. You can lose a pile of clips in hurry and if you’re using the yellow Offshore 4 packs at 20$ a rip, it will make you sick! Amish Outfitters makes 500lb planner board line. We picked ours up at Fisherman’s Warf and haven’t had a problem since. I strongly suggest getting the heavy duty line if you’re planning to run Skipper9 Boards.

As for the Put-N-Bay… The perch where schooled up tight and they wouldn’t even nibble but if you wanted a carp, from what I saw that bite was on fire!

Thanks guys! Tight Lines!
