mini planer boards

[Splillway]

I have been making some mini planers that have some interesting rigging options. Machining foam isn't any fun but I am figuring out how to do it without melting it. I don't want to get called a spammer by giving the name of a possible future product but for fun I would like to know what you think they can do and can be used for.

might be great for river steel trolling up stream help get outside lines out further, or for browns on flat lines to get it closer to the beach on lite rods and lite lines,.

Here is a 3" long model pulling a 3.5" diving lure out to the side like a big planer. The thin piece of plastic is a hydrofoil keeping it stable and planing wide out to the side.

How does it do in rougher water?

I haven't tried them out on a Great Lake when it was rough yet but have used them in a river and they fly across fast currents with the hydrofoil and the weight (screw) moved to one of the keels so they can't flip.

I like the concept, im sure they would work good for coho fishing and spring browns on lightline

I haven't noticed any difference in performance as far as type or test of line.

Looks to me like you already have them on the market.

SeaCatMich,

I wish you would not have given the link.

I am not selling them but yes I am using a few as a freebie bonus to up-sell if you call that on the market.
