I'm using the Off Shore planar boards and they handle the chop really well. I have literally bounced them through the chop only to have them glide very nice through it. I have not really found them to be a hassle except for two things. If they release from the line you have to go back for them and after dark you better not use them for that reason unless you use the "traditional" attach method that permanently attaches them to you line.<br><br>One good thing about them is if you get hook ups on lines behind the boat you don't have to worry about the planar line, it safe and away from all the action. It's one less thing you need to worry about. <br><br>another advantage to planar boards are not only do you have the luxury of fishing away from the boat but also if the fish are close to the surface, any fish that are scared away by the boat, could be driven outside in the planars path.<br><br>Just my two cents....<br><br>
