Why these fit

“Planer” usually means one of two things: an inline planer board for trolling, or a diving planer for pulling lures deeper.

For trolling and spreading lines away from the boat, the best fits are the three Church Tackle boards: The Walleye Board (#30110 & #40100), The Walleye Board Pro-Pack (#30310), and The Walleye Board Fully Assembled (#30115 & #40105). They’re designed to spread baits out, cover more water, and help run controlled-depth presentations.

Cortland Line Company Planer Board 500 is a strong line choice for planer-board trolling because it’s made from pure Spectra and is aimed at low-stretch, durable use.

If you meant a diving planer for saltwater trolling, Clarkspoon Size 1 Diving Planer is a solid starting point, with the other Clarkspoon sizes available if you need a larger planer.

Technique notes

Use inline planer boards to pull crankbaits, spoons, or weighted baits away from the boat.
Add snap weights or inline weights when you need more depth control.
Choose a smaller diving planer for lighter lures or moderate trolling speed; step up in size as lure drag or trolling speed increases.
Keep trolling speed steady so the planer tracks straight.

When to switch

Switch to a diving planer when you want the lure to run deeper without heavy weights.
Switch to a planer board when you want to spread multiple lines, fish wider water, or keep baits away from boat noise.
If you’re not trolling, a planer is usually the wrong tool; a standard lure or bottom presentation will be better.
