Planer Boards- I just don't get it!

[utwalleye]

One thing they are good for is getting you lure up close to the shore line in shallow water, where the boat motor can't go. you can get more lines in the water (as stated above). I've had one for about 6 years, it works ok. you don't need to set the hook, the weight and the bobber like action will help, then when you get the board off you might want to set the hook a little more, you know fish get when they get close to a boat. hope this helps, laterchuck
