Planer board question.

[wazapng]

Hey guys. Hoping you can help a planer board newbie. Im just getting started and only want to get them away from my boat a little at first. I picked up a set of those two-board planers and want to know if letting them out 30 feet is too close?

Thanks in advance.

A board in that close puts your long lines right over your dipsies. Hit a fish on the dipsy and it has a good chance of raising up into your long lines. Boards are good for getting those lines far enough to the side to miss avoid tangling with your dipsies. You can also tangle your long lines by popping your dipsies for retrieval. Don't be affraid to run them out to the sides. Your learning curve will be less frustrating if you aren't undoing tangles on a frequent basis.

Wow. Thanks for the quick response. How did you know my inside two were dipsies?
