I just picked up some planner boards this year to try at the berry. I haven’t used planner boards in the past so I was looking at a lot of YouTube videos. I wondered how fun (and effective) it is to reel in the board and the fish on the Sam line. I appreciate you mentioning that. I didn’t even know about the mast setup until reading this post (I love this site). Anyways from what I can see with the mast setup is that the planner board is attached to the mast and the lure is attached to the board by a seperate line. Very smart. It reminds me of the idea b3hind a diwnrigger but instead of going deep it goes out.
That got me thinking. Does anyone know if instead of doing a mast if I can just take the weights off my Downriggers and attach the planner boards to them. So instead of running deep with the weights I run away from the boat with the boards. Just trying to think if I can use what I already have instead of building a mast mount for the planner boards.
