trolling set-up for planer boards ??

[Terry]

well

myself, at times when I am fishing for small pickeral, I use my 8' TDR rod and a snap swivel and hook it on the planer board and stick it in the front rod holder

then I use my light action spinning rod and reel and lightly clip it on the planer board and put it in the back rod holder or even hang on to it...

yes I use the 8' TDR rod and reel as a planer board mast on inline planer boards......

it's a little more work, but it make catching small pickeral a lot more fun

 

I just don't enjoy dragging in something that comes in like a wet sock or less with the heavy duty rod and reels

I'd go with a nice, light, setup.

 

7'10" Shimano Compre Trolling Rod

 

Okuma Magda 20 reel.

 

Spend the little extra on the rod (100 dollars) and save the money on the reel (35 dollars, or less)

 

 

Hope this helps a bit lew.
