Anyone here use the Off Shore Tackle Side Planers?

[bill28wagner]

I striper fish on cumberland quite a bit. The Offshore planers are hands down the best to use. Look on amazon and even ebay. I found my from a store in Wisconsin and paid like 12.50 each. They were going out of business. There are time we run 4 on each side. They always run true. I have never used the flags though.

As for reels i have 16 Diawa Accudepths. Fantastic reels. I started with a couple of brands like Okuma but sold them all and went to the accudepth. I like the 47's have a couple 27's but prefer the 47.

For line I use 40 lb mono and attach a barrel swivel with about a 10' leader of flourocarbon. Never lost a board. I have yet to run boards on Brookville but was thinking about it. I ran boards on Dale this year for the first time. We had a small group of guys that want to try to catch a few smallies but werent much of a fisherman "group". Had a ball.

Its a great way to fish if you have kids also. You can catch some very large fish and not have to worry about tangles and 400 tiny bluegill. My boys love to striper fish with the "mailboxes".

Any questions feel free to ask
