[quote jacksonlaker]The idea behind planer boards is not to get more lines in the water, but to get the lures away from the boat. When fishing in shallow water or for boat shy fish, boards will out fish your other presentations. [/quote]
I think planer boards are a great idea, excellent solution to shallow areas like you mention. As for boat shy fish, I dont run into that problem. I run my lines way behind the boat, stacked 2 poles per downrigger, 12' between lines with the 5th pole trailing on top water with a rapala or something.
Soon as I can slip it past the wife, I'd like to get a couple planer boards though
