I would be interested to know what your favorite planer boards are. Maybe some of you have used several types and have a favorite. I included my old ones as part of a package deal when I sold my old boat to a friend last summer and I am looking to replace them.

Thanks!

As has been said before by many others on this board, Offshore is the only way to go!!
I have used mine alot and have had no trouble with them once I learned the little ins and outs.
Well worth the money.
good luck!

Off-Shore is the best board I have found! I love how easy they are to use and they have different features for you for different applications. Head to the mainpage here at Walleye Central to take a look at them. Good fishing and don't forget to shoot the puck. Mike Peluso #999

Are we talking in-lines or full size boards??

I was talking in line. Not the kind you use on a planer mast.

offshores get my vote too.....easy to use and easy to teach how to use

Have used both offshore and Roach(Mr. Walleye) boards. MUCH prefer the Roach boards. easier to hook up and take off. Love the releases on Roach boards so much that I retrofitted my offshore boards with them.
my 2 cents

I too fish the Mr. Walleye boards and have found them to be very easy to use. I like them a lot. Sounds like the Offshore are good too, although I have never used them.

I much prefer the Roach boards. Unclip the clip and the line runs free bewteen the pin and the board. The fish makes a surge no dropping the board or breaking the line the line runs free. The clips don't slip and work well for snap weights too.

I run both boards. I prefer running the Off Shores but, I like the Walleye board clip when running fireline. I can't wait to try out the new clip, snap or something, on the offshores.

I like the Off Shore boards with the Tattle Flag system.

Hey Sparky, that new release for superbraids is called the Snapper Release.

Juls.. Is that an Offshore release?

Yes Sir, it's new. It's hard to describe, so get yourself the new Off Shore Release paper when it comes out. I'm pretty sure they will have that covered in one of the articles. The new paper should be going to the printers by the end of the month, if not before.
I will post a message when I hear it is available to us.

It's going to make using boards with superbraids much easier!! No more asking your partner, "hey, is that board sliding back?"

I'll be at the Pontiac, MI boat show this weekend looking for the offshore booth and "snapper release". Thanks Juls.
