I know the planer boards are the most popular, but have any of you used the fairly new Redi Rig planer floats yet? I am looking for something to get just a little more spread with my lines but not sure I want to learn how work boards yet. I only run 3 rods, 1 each side and 1 straight bag. Boat is too small to get enough anglers on board to help navigate, bait, and reel in fish so I am trying to K.I.S.S.

I use a redi rig float and they work great. Someone passed one around at a MSC meeting. Seemed like it would work just fine. But they work just like a board, so learning one would be the same as the other. Really nothing to using planers. You hook them on a freeline, drop them in, let out some line and when the slack is gone they pull out from the boat.

Thanks, I broke down and ponied up the dough and got a set of boards from Richard today. Along with a pair of release floats. We’ll see how they do this afternoon.

I bought 4 directly from the website. I bought Waterbugz directly from the guy who makes them in NC and they work great.

I’d rather fish than eat.

My question is how do you guys pull these without the crazy boats running over them ?
How about it at Hartwell Taz , where I fish .
Just keep a few 2 oz lead near by !!! No just kidding its not that much trouble but sometimes the bass boats get a little to close

I usually only pull 4 boards, 2 on each side and I don’t run them out very far. Also I don’t fish on weekends much when it warms up.
