GLF Posted March 4, 2006 Share Posted March 4, 2006 I have never ran planer boards before. I picked up a couple of Church walleye planer boards at the Birch Run show from the Fishdog guys. There is an adjustable weight on the bottom of them. What does everyone recommend for the setting of these weights? Leave them neutral, weight foreward, or weight back??? What do you have yours set at? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptLevi Posted March 4, 2006 Share Posted March 4, 2006 I have never found the need to adjust them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adjusted3 Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 Actually---I adjust the weight. If just a mono highline with a spoon, I will move it back 1 tipping the board back. Running a core, I will move the weight foreward +2 or more to compensate for the drag of the core so the board tracks level. This works very well in rough water. This is the jist of the adjustments.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sixshooter Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 I don't think I've EVER touched my keel weight adjustment. Mark is right on for what they are for....But I've not noticed a difference in teh way they run with a straight mono and spoon compaired to a full core with a Jplug.

Josh Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 I move the weight all the way forward when running full cores. Otherwise I leave it in the middle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
