thats what i was hoping for,i use lead core quite a bit ,but never off planers,i fish quite a bit in Oneida for walleyes,i have downriggers but im reaching out to some different waters this year,i have heard lots of talk about browns on Ontario in early spring,with planer boards ,i just picked up some planers (offshore inlines)but wasnt quite sure how to get them a little deeper,from what i read most of the action in spring is fairly shallow?but when summer and fall hit i will no doubt have to go deeper,also for walleyes on other lakes.do you use lead tied to the end of the mono kinda like a long leader?or can i go straight lead from leader/board/ reel?or will it pull the board down?
