copper setups on big boards

[scobar]

I want to try to run my coppers off the big past planner boards, all the reels have braid backer, what is the best release to use on the braid and the big boards?

thanks Scott

Amish clipper, are those the little orange clips that are permanently attached to the tow line?

Yes, those are the clipper releases. Orange and green. You really can’t go wrong with Scotty releases for copper. They have 2 settings and when set on the heavy position the braid holds long coppers no problem.

Another cheap way is a rubber band attached to the braid with a shower clip.

We always use a rubber band, even with a clip. Double rubber band (half hitched to one another) when its rough.

The double rubber band is like a figure 8 then with one band on the braid and the other into the clip, size 12 rubber bands?

A 300 will tow with an Amish pilgrim release and a band.

Scotty planer board releases are probably the most versatile release out there. They work for all lengths of copper and leadcore. https://scotty.com/product/no-1177-planer-board-release/

I tow a 450 copper with braid backing on these releases.

Do you twist the braid up before putting in clip or just straight through

I like the Scotty releases but add 10 yards of 50# mono between braid and copper for putting in release on all my coppers

Just clip the copper to the release. No need for mono and extra knots.

Agreed. Depending on the length of copper depends on how far in the jaws i place the braid

No twist for me either.
