Planer boards

Planner boards rule. The get your lures away from the boat. It almost heards the fish to you. Superlines don't work very well because the superline usually slips through the clips. I'd go with off-shore boards. Try Cabelas.

Keep an eye on HSOList as I see them on there now and then. I have used offshore's for 4 years with 10, 14, and 20# fireline and powerpro braids for trolling both cranks and snapweight/bouncer and spinner rig's with no troubles at all. Get some and you will get you're money's worth out of them....They do work and have a permanent place in the boat!

I posted this elsewhere, but go no response. Does anyone have any used planer boards that they don't use? If yes, I'm interested in buying them. They have to not damage superline.
If no one has these and wants to get rid of them any suggestions as to where is the cheapest place to get a pair of Church's or Off-Shore planer boards?
Thanks,
Scoot

I own a pair of church boards and have had no problems with superlines, I have also heard that people with the offshore boards are changing theline clips to chuch clips so they dont slip w/superlines, sorry scoot Im holding on to mine, bought them at scheels fgo, about 18$ back then

I've used Yellow Birds for years and love them. However, replace the little red line release with one of the alligator type clips.

They are not going to break the bank, you'll save time and frustration by buying new.

Yep, Yellow Birds were the cheapest and have caught me several fish. They are also small and they don't take up any space in my boat, and they are very easy to use.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      got this tackled today took about 3 hours to get both sides done. Didnt even get to use a torch....   Thought I was golden with just jacking it up and I could get to everything but no luck. Had to remove the entire axle hub and brake assembly to get to what I needed. Was a pain but still better then taking off the entire pivot arm.    Axle bearings were already greased and in great shape thankfully. Got both leaf springs installed and its ready for the road again.   Probably going to have my electric brakes checked, I am not touching anything with the brake drums. Based on what I saw it doesn't look like my electric brakes have been working anyway. Brakes are nice to have if its slippery out

      It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.

      we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
