[#000000]And Majja, how many planer boards are you gonna run simultaneously? I can understand it being a big deal to go back and pick up a dropped board if you’re running more than one cuz you'd have to reel in your other lines, but if you’re only running one, it’s only a 30 second chore to retrieve.[/#000000]
[#000000] [/#000000]
[#000000]And dropping/retrieving a board is a much better alternative to having the board on the line. It’s a totally annoying way to fight a fish.[/#000000]

[#000000]I like DuBob’s design, but I didn’t have access to a table saw, so I just bought 2 Churchs Walleye Boards with the intent of bolting together. The one mod I was gonna make from DuBob’s was that I was gonna space them further apart (like 15”) for even more stability. But then ice-off came, and since I had never used planers b4 I decided to see how much I mind retrieving. It’s been a non-issue.[/#000000]
[#000000] [/#000000]
[#000000]So: if you’re just gonna fish one, then consider drop and retrieve. If your gonna fish two, you have to do DuBob’s design, using either home-mades or your Cabela’s gift card.[/#000000]

[#000000]HTH; gotta go outside and see what it’s gonna take to turn my front chair mount into a planer mast.[/#000000]
