Make your own planer boards

[font "Times New Roman"][#000000]are your boards teathered to your boat with that line i see in the pic?[/#000000][/font]

Yes they are. I clip them to a cleat with the carabineer just in front of the windshield on either side of the boat.

[font "Times New Roman"][#000000]how does your fishing line attach to the board?[/#000000][/font]

I use some home made clips that consist of a shower curtain hook, a small alligator clip, and some rubber tubing. Put a small length of tubing on each jaw of the alligator clip and then slip this onto the shower curtain hook. Then slip the shower curtain hook over the board line and put the fishing pole line beween the alligator clip jaws. As you let out fishing line, the shower curtain hook slides down the board line towards the board. Stop it anywhere you like. After a fish strikes the fishing line will pull free of the clip and the board continues to troll along side the boat as you fight the fish, and the fish only. I carry a dozen or so clips and just keep sliding them down the line to the boards. After all the clips are used, pull the board in and retrieve them and start all over. Simple!

[font "Times New Roman"][#000000]once fish is hooked, is your fishing line still attched to your board?[/#000000][/font]

No.

I'll take a picture of the clips and post tomorrow. [/#800000][/font]
