downrigger planers?

[goin hungry]

Does anyone know the name of planers that attach directly to the downrigger cable right above the weights to pull the side rigger lines out away from the boat? I was on a charter and the captain used them but I forgot the name he called them. They are ten to twelve inches long and made of thin metal and clip right to the downriger cable. I know lots of guys bend the fins out on their weights to archieve the same effect but I think these may add another attractor component to the spread... thanks!

I think you are referring to a product called "Wingers" from a company called Great Lakes Planers.
