Buck I have used them while trolling for striper's with the Pontoon and we were trolling between 1 to 2 mph our biggest problems were remembering to make really wide turns to keep from tangling the lines  ;D

thanks guys for Info.

I'll be using planner boards this year fishing from the shore. I figure if I use clips to attach my drops as I let line out and take them off as I bring it in will keep me from ending up with hooks in my hands. We just have a small river here but I think I can probably use up to ten hooks. I'm going to run it like a trout line but do it from the bank instead of wading, to old and crippled up to wade so will be running a trot line from shore. Wish me luck in my venture. I also have a planner bobber to try on one of my rigs also. papa
