Planer Boards

ciscos for me as well. I think 1 trip of reeling them big boards in by hand would cure anyone of wanting anything else.

i would be interested to hear a couple people's input on running big boards on an 18' boat. With the position of the windshield where it is, it seems like it could get tricky mounting reels, mast, and especially a bungy system. Does anyone have any pics of their set-up on an 18-20' boat and how they accomplished their set-up.

Everybody has a different budget to work with.
That being said, the Ciscos' are definitely top of the line
For someone that fishes a couple weekend a month or doesn't want to dump a lot of money into equipment, the Big Jon gear would be a good choice.


On a side note if you go with a plastic reel it's not advised to use weed wacker line on them as it will have a tendency crack the reel from the load pulling and tightening the remaining line on the reel
