Looking to buy a mast. How do i determine which height to buy? i see different models and diff heights. ill be fishing out of a 16' lund. im assuming the taller the better?

Most planer board masts are about 6' tall. One of the easiest masts to use is the Riviera Planer board mast. You can buy the model to fit into your seat base at the bow. They also have a model with spring loaded reels(Kachman) You can find more about Riviera and Off Shore Tackle products at www.offshoretackle.com

Off Shore is the maker of the small inline boards uded by many walleye fishermen and women.

I just installed a Big Jon planner board mast in my 16ft Lund.The higher the better and as far to the front as you can go with it.You need high and as far forward so the cables dont interfere with you your rods.I was going to use the front seat mount but found it not forward enough.I got a real good deal on the mast and boards at a local tackle shop .If you want send me a p.m and I will give you the store name.Here is a picture of my set up.
