Description

TX-005 Mini Stern Planer Inline Planer Board for Trolling Directly Behind the Boat The TX-005 Stern Planer is a game-changer for anglers looking to present baits directly behind the boat in addition to off to the side like traditional inline planer boards. This inline planer board allows you to set your lure to the desired depth and maintain that depth at any distance behind the boat. It’s great for trolling congested areas and more effective contour trolling along drop offs, contour lines, reef edges and weed lines. Take advantage of the prop wash, which concentrates disoriented bait-fish, sediment and bugs which attract fish. Take your trolling game to the next level with the TX-005 Stern Planer – a must-have tool for serious anglers looking to present bait exactly where fish will strike! The TX-005 is slightly smaller than the TX-007 and can be staggered, allowing for more lines to be run out of the back of the boat. The TX-005 creates so little drag that you can still see the action of the lure at the rod tip. 7" L, tapers from 2" to ½" W Universal Clip & Quick-Release Swivel #1 Why Use the TX-005 Stern Planer?

Great for High-Traffic Waters – Helps avoid side planer congestion while still offering effective bait presentation. Prop Wash Advantage – Capitalizes on stirred-up baitfish, sediment, and insects that attract predator fish.

Field Notes

Use this inline planer board when trolling behind the boat to spread lines and hold baits at a consistent distance. It is especially useful in congested water, along contour lines, drop-offs, reef edges, and weed lines where you want to cover more water without adding much drag.

Pros

  • Lets you troll directly behind the boat while maintaining bait position
  • Low drag design preserves lure action at the rod tip
  • Useful for staggered multi-line trolling spreads

Cons

  • Requires trolling setup and some adjustment to run correctly
  • Not a lure, so it does not add fish-attracting action on its own
