Planer Board Mast or Inline

[RonPaulFan]

This is likely the planer board Curt and I fished with almost four years ago. Thanks, Curt! Great memories! It's great for trolling next to shore and structure without risking the boat getting to close with the advantage of not disturbing the fish with the boat since it's off a sufficient distance to the side.

I'm still thinking of one other use that can likely be devised to work with a purpose built planer board. I shore fish a lot, so I've been considering buying this Wi-Fi castable fish finder:

It looks like it has good features, but from previous posts (didn't find it yet), there's one that integrates with a fish finder mapping software to make underwater contour lines. Putting a Wi-Fi ball on a planer board would allow you to add shallow contour lines without risk to the boat. Also, there is a version with additional features, so that's probably why this one is suddenly much less.

What's the thoughts of BFT members on a fish finder planer board?
