Planer Board Rod Placement

[swartj]

Keith,

When you run you planer lines that flat do you have a hard time getting a small bait (i.e. 2 oz chute w/9" shad all the way out to the end of the boards?

Would it help to move the tridents farther back?

Yes, we sometimes move them back but the problem still exists to a lesser extent.

The small baits are a little harder to get outboard, and you cannot see the release clip when the planer line is submerged. We still manage to get them out there.

Jerry,
I do the same thing and it helps to just speed up to like 5mph for a short amount of time to get them out.
