[quote MasterDaad]I'm just starting into Planar boards and have been frustrated by the same things.
Can you take a picture of one "rigged and ready"
Thanks![/quote]
I'll try to get ya a picture but won't be on water as we're basically done with the softwater for this season.
Planer boards are pretty straight forward to rig up just put line in front release then in back release leaving a little line slack between releases. With the OR18 you just push down and they lock with the other releases you have to squeeze them put line in again leaving a little line slack between releases.
Finally it's vitally important to know what depth you want the lure to run. Knowing what the dive chart is for your lure is a critical aspect of using planers. Knowing the dive chart allows you to put the lure out X amount of feet then attach planer boad to get the lure down to the depth you want taking into consideration line diameter and boat speed. I'll try and get you a pic of the planer attached to the line.
