Bingo, I do the same thing as you running the board on one pole and the lure on a second rod... I hate adding more distraction to the fight of my fish... I like the catching of the fish, not the drag of a stinking planner board... Going to try this on my pontoon for catfish, I notice most of the cats I catch is when my lure pulls through the area that the boat hasn't traveled, so if I use a board maybe I won't have to do as many "s" turns... think I'll try a modified mast system on the toon... Plus a week or so back Adam Eckle showed a cool method to run more lines off each planner board... See the Willard Bay program... It let's you run several lines off to the same side and is really cool...
Does anyone have a DIY design for making a strong planner board to run off a mast? I just want one that will pull hard to the side that I can use as a fixed spot to attach my other lines to this main sideline, doesn't have to be something that you can still land a fish while attached to it... Thanks all... J
