How to Set Up a Wind-On Planer Rod

Показать описание

Planers are a very effective way to fish baits deeper when you are trolling.Traditionally, planers are attached in a way that requires the angler to hand line the leader when the planer is reeled to the tip of the rod. The job of hand lining the leader and gaffing can be a bit tricky for one person. In this video, we demonstrate a clever wind-on planer system that enables the planer to be quickly removed once it reaches the rod allowing the angler to continue reeling the leader right through the rod guides until the fish within gaff range.

Hey Capt! Great video. What size double snaps? 121 good?

Nice info on the bridal you made.
What number and where do you get those barrel swivels?
I can't seem to find one small enough to fit threw my guides.
I've bought two already that I can't use. For that purpose anyway.
I'll use them on something else.
I subscribed to your channel and checking it out.
Tight lines.

thanks for the great video. I've discovered my rods don't have eyes that allow the swivel to pass through easily. What size and rod would you recommend? Does it require at least a roller for the top? I don't want to risk losing everything because the bridle hangs up or ruins the guides. Fishing the great lakes we use specialized rods for dipsey divers with wire. Are there specialized rods for this or is it not necessary?

Great technique, but it seems like it would be easy to lose a planer. Ever happen to you? I took my grandson out yesterday trolling for Spanish. Your technique helps keep the sport and fun in it, especially for an 8 year old. Thanks!

Really Nice Video. However I have some concerns about the bridle. It is constructed using two barrel swivels. After you retrieve the line up to the bridle and remove the planar, while reeling the bridle and leader in, those metal swivels under heavy tension from the hooked up fish will ultimately damage the guides of the rod (whether the guides are ceramic or metal). Eventually, those damages can cause abrasion on the line whether its braid, mono or fluorcarbon. Have you experienceD this with the guides on your rod? Should you have a dedicated rod and reel for this rig set up?

I am having a hard time finding those cigar swivels. What size and brand? Then I can search the internet unless you know of a source for them?

We have a west marine . But they don't seem to carry the bridal.. if you have a link or a number to a shop it would be greatly appreciated.. very cool rigging sir..

First, great education on how this is rigged. Second question: Why do you need to use Dacron? If it is there to keep the swivels inline, why not use the same braid as your main line? Am I missing something that the 2 feet of Dacron does that heavy Braid or Mono wouldn't?

Looks like the Bimini is split, common to what I’ve seen via this method but no one has mentioned nor explained - why bother with a loop/double line connection if you cut it and use two tag ends? Why not just tie the mainline braid to the swivel?
