AllenW Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 I've been playing with my masted planner board set up from Riviera and been using the store (Cabela's) bought line to run the boards, it's nice and bright, but a bit short.Any suggestions on line to use?Maybe 50-100# braid or ??tiaAl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eyefull Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 Both of my Big Jon spools split. I replaced them with Traxstech spools. They go right on with only a bushing replacement, much stouter than the previous spools. They come spooled with heavy mono. No need for a snubber since the mono stretches if your boards pull as hard as mine. Clips slide right down like on bearings. I have used the "shark line", which is like 200# braid. It works ok, but in waves it jerks the boards bad due to no stretch, causing clips to flip around line and tangle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AllenW Posted August 31, 2014 Author Share Posted August 31, 2014 I see Ande has 200# mono, that should work I think, now just to find it locally if I can.Al Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevietangles Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 Check out SNL corp out of FloridaThey have 400 pound mono that's pretty cheap. I use it for my duck decoy lines but will work as a main line for your mast. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AllenW Posted September 1, 2014 Author Share Posted September 1, 2014 I can order a few spools, but looking for something locally for next week, would 200# work well??Al Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eyefull Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 Allen, give Jeff a call at Traxstech, he has the line all ready to go with terminations and everything. Pretty reasonable also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
