Masted planer board line?

[AllenW]

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 ??

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.

Thanks, I like the stretch factor also, any idea what test that mono was?

I see Ande has 200# mono, that should work I think, now just to find it locally if I can.

Check out SNL corp out of Florida

They 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.

I can order a few spools, but looking for something locally for next week, would 200# work well??

Allen, give Jeff a call at Traxstech, he has the line all ready to go with terminations and everything. Pretty reasonable also.

Will do, I have done business with them before.
