In this video from Tangled Tackle Fishing Chris continues his how to series on avoiding tangles. This time his focus is on planer boards with lead core and copper.
Key takeaways:
- Don’t mix copper and lead core on the same side of the boat
- Always deploy the shallowest line on the furthest outside the boat
- Always deploy the deepest line closest to the boat
- Turn the clicker off on the reel to let line free spool
- Keep thumb on reel in case it starts to backlash
- How easy it is to connect/disconnect the Dreamweaver Ninja Board
- If you want to pull one of the deeper lines, free spool the reel to get the planer board to drift in line with the boat, then bring the line in keeping it from drifting back out.
- Keep rod tip down to keep board from diving on you
- To put line back out, drop in planer board let reel free spool with no clicker until board is well past inside line or lines.
Products mentioned:
- Dreamweaver Ninja Boards
