Planer rigging procedures are as follows:
First; Bring your boat to trolling speed and place the planer boards
in the water. Let out the tow line until the boards travel
to the desired distance from the boat. Lock the clutches on the tow line reels.
Second; Let out your lure to the desired distance behind the boat and attach
a planer release to your fishing line. Next, clip the loop of the planer
release around the planer tow line.
Third; Let out fishing line from your reel, allowing the release to slide
down the tow line and away from the boat. Next, set the clicker and drag
on your fishing reel and place your rod in a rod holder.
An effective way to vary the depths of your lure presentation is to tie a
Diver Disc four feet ahead of your lure on some lines. It will take
your lure to depths of 45 feet. Use this technique on the lines closest to the
boat.
