Planer mast vs sliders

[leadcore troller]

Would like to know if there are pros and cons on planer boards. Personnaly I've been leaning towards the mast with otter boats. Plus the slider style  seems like alot of hardware to reel in.

Depends what your running. I fish walleye too so the inlines are great for me. I can run 10 colors easily on a church walleye board and they are much cheaper. I don't let them slide though. Reel them up and take them off then fight fish

For walleye I run both, it depends on the situation. If I'm only fishing 2 guys then I run 6 poles with inlines. This coming weekend I will have 4 guys on the boat so I will run the big boards and 12 lines. It is easier to run more lines on the big boards than the smaller ones but maneuverability is horrible with the big boards compared to the little ones.  I can make a nice tight turn with the inlines but the big boards get slack in the line and can cause a tangle. The inlines if they get slack in the line they can run over the line of a outer board.

I run both as well. You will notice a trend, most will have both styles and will deploy based upon the situiation and target species
