Inline Planer Boards

[greenhornet73]

Does anyone have any experience with inline planer boards such as the Luhr Jensen side planer or the SideWinder?  I would like to use one for trolling 2 lines out of my kayak and think it will help with keeping the lines from crossing but I heard one review stating the sidewinder trips too easily but I like the streamlined shape and simplicity of its design?  Any info on these would be very helpful.

I'm not sure what they are called these days but the old Jensen "Hot shot" side planer that they made for rivers would be ideal for flat lines off your Kayak.

Yep that's the one I was referring to and they still make them!  I wasn't sure how they would stand up to waves since I fish a lot of big water.  Might be fun to try salmon and steelhead fishing the rivers with it as well.

Try the redi rig stealth planers in the small size. I use them trolling in my kayak for the same purpose, keeps line spread out so I don't have to worry about crossing up. The small size will work fine with even medium-deeper diving plugs but not too sure about weighted setups.

Off shore tackle make good ones, and different sizes as well . I use the yellow ones with the tattle tale flag for trolling walleye in boat . They have weight adjustments for different speed and lure presentation
