stcroixx09 Posted May 27, 2014 Posted May 27, 2014 ive never used planer riggers but seeing as how i mounted a duel electric mass i believe ill be using one. was wondering what everyone prefers using for releases and were best place to order them is, before i invest more money unwisely.was thinking the offshores but like i said i got no clue.
Line Dancin Posted May 28, 2014 Posted May 28, 2014 Are you walleye or salmon fishing. what are you planning to pull coppers lead or mini discs jet divers?
stcroixx09 Posted May 28, 2014 Author Posted May 28, 2014 ill be fishing salmon in algoma or kewaunee. ill be pulling 27# leadcore with 50# powerpro backer with a piece of 30# mono for connecting the release; thanks to all of you for the info on the line setup.lures i have are spoons, flasher/fly combos and j plugs.its my first time with my own boat so trying to learn. ive been out a fair amount with others in the past 30 yrs, mostly charters, but have never seen anyone run planer mast.

If i were to use my mast system i have a bunch of the orange offshore heavy tension planer releases that i would use. i dont think the black have the holding strength for the heavy lines.
stcroixx09 Posted May 29, 2014 Author Posted May 29, 2014 thanks cuz i would have bought the black ones not knowing about the orange ones.saved me bunch of money there
FishingandHuntingUSA Posted May 29, 2014 Posted May 29, 2014 I use the Big Jon Otter Boats with their releases
Duraflame Posted May 29, 2014 Posted May 29, 2014 I used a mast the last two years on my old boat, and now that i'm using inline planers, I miss my big boards. I think i'm going to install two masts on my new boat, as I hate fighting the inline boards. I used the scotty mini releases, and they worked flawlessly. Here is a link for them at BPS. http://www.basspro.com/Scotty-Mini-PowerGrip-Plus-Release-Clips/product/10211982/?cmCat=CROSSSELL_PRODUCT
Timo Posted May 30, 2014 Posted May 30, 2014 I have used everything that's out there at one time or the other. When its said and done I like the Offshore Release or shower curtain rings and rubber bands. Nice part about rubber bands is you will get no false releases.
sslopok Posted May 31, 2014 Posted May 31, 2014 I use the offshore or18's (I think). they are black and have a flipper lock dealy so they stay put. Doesn't matter if using braid or mono.
