inlines that will pull 400 copper no problem

[twofish]

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

this past season we tried a new setup for our 400 and up copper because we wanted to get our long lines out farther than our regular boards would let us.we found a product on the net that was used out west for bank fishermen called moulder bank-ease planer .we added an or 18 clip at the mid point and an or 19 clip at the rear so we clip the board on inline.

now these boards pulled hard and took some time to get useto but performed great.they not only made our spread wider but didn't lag back as much on the turns.my reason for posting this is because i think these boards fill a gap that if any of you pull long copper or multi boards know it can get messy if one board lags back farther than the others.

heres a link check them out for your self.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think this is an example of an "in-line" planer. It looks like it requires a tow line.

Please clarify.....

Thanks,

looks like a larger version of the luhr jensen hot shot side planer.

I think twofish modified it to be a inline by what he said. i was wondering the same thing

[momay4000]

OK - I see that he has changed the mid-point clip to make it an in-line. It seems like it would really pull on the line and rod and be tough to reel in a fish after it releases

Still it's quite interesting.....

they don't pull any harder than any other board in that respect, the wing is what makes it pull left or right so the drag on the rod is basicly the same as a chirch or offshore board.the benifit is they stay on top of the water,don't skip and willgo out left or right as far as u want them too. even in turns they still don't drop back.the only time they drop back is when a fish is on.

well thanks for the info, ive already trying to decide 4 next year if im going to stay with inlines or get a mast.

get a mast if you go to heavy the copper will tangle in the dipsys. i know from experience.
