FAQ - Planers and Accessories

1. What size planer should I use?

Match planer size to rod strength and target depth. Larger planers pull deeper but require stronger tackle.

2. What is a planer bridle?

A planer bridle keeps the planer tracking straight and makes it easy to swap baits. The planer bridle is a standard offshore setup.

3. Do I need a planer kit?

If you are new to planers, a planer bridle kit gives you everything you need to rig correctly.

4. Can I run planers at high speed?

Yes, but watch the tracking. If the planer pulls too hard or blows out, reduce speed or move to a smaller size.

5. What baits work best on planers?

Spoons, dusters, and live baits all run well on planers. Use a short leader and keep the bait tracking true.

6. Do I need weights with planers?

Most setups do not. The planer itself pulls the bait down. You can add a bridle weight if you need extra depth.

How to Rig Planers for Trolling

Use planers to reach depth. Planers pull baits below the surface without heavy sinkers. This keeps the spread clean and gets baits into the strike zone.

Start with a bridle. A planer bridle keeps the planer stable and makes it easy to swap baits. If you are starting from scratch, grab the planer bridle kit.

Match planer size to tackle. Larger planers pull deeper but add drag. Use heavier rods and reels when you step up in size.

Keep the bait tracking clean. Watch the lure in the wake. If it skips or rolls, adjust speed or move the bait to a different planer lane.
