Planer Boards

[MN]

I am thinking about buying boards - I am not familiar with them. Does anyone have any feedback on what is best. I am leaning toward the Yellow Birds just because they are small.

Thanks

I use the off-shore boards and find they work well. Have used yellow birds and found that they don't handle heavier snap weights real well. Maybe I was doing something wrong, but I didn't have much luck with them. Know a guy that uses the Mr. Walleye boards and likes them. I prefer the off-shores. Good Luck.

Get the Off Shore or Gary Roach if you are looking for inlines (roughly same size as the yellow birds). Have seen others have luck w/ yellow birds but for me they have been diving planers meaning they dive under and snag on the bottom vs. pulling the line to the side.
