[font "Comic Sans MS"][#800000]I wouldn’t run on-line boards if you paid me. Tried them for a year and hated it. I built my own mast boards from plans I got from a friend in Michigan. I posted the plans on here back in 2008 and you can see them here: [url "http://www.bigfishtackle.com/cgi-bin/gforum/gforum.cgi?post=415914;search_string=planer;#415914"]plans[/url][/#800000][/font][font "Comic Sans MS"][#800000].[/#800000][/font]
[font "Comic Sans MS"][#800000] [/#800000][/font]
[font "Comic Sans MS"][#800000]I run them off a commercial planer board - Bert's Custom Tackle Planer Board Mast Systems (3-foot Double-Reel Mast). Pricey at around $300, but they work very well and I think they are worth every penny. You can get a 6’ for about $40 bucks more.[/#800000][/font]
[font "Comic Sans MS"][#800000] [/#800000][/font]
[font "Comic Sans MS"][#800000]The fact that I never have to remove the board or pull it in to reattach the fishing line and I can run multiple fishing lines off one board makes the on-line boards ridiculous for me to even consider. For those of you that use the on-line boards and like them, I support your right to do so and I’m happy that you’re happy. Don’t bring ‘em on my boat – please. [][/#800000][/font]
