Diving plugs

[FX]

Wondering if any of you guys have had luck with running diving plugs off planer boards. I've never been very successful with them, but do ok with adding a weight before a 6' leader to floating plugs typically early in the season when the fish start moving a little deeper. Don't quite understand why - is it a different action with the nose of the bait pointed downward instead of being more horizontal??

Hot n'tots and reef runners work. Try throwing them down the chute ( off the back). I will often send these back on a light action spinning outfit with 8# test and set it in a rod holder on my hardtop. Will catch anything from cohos, and browns in the spring close to shore or even smallmouth and sheephead in the summer.
