  1. Hey there

    i run mast and board

    300 copper on one side with an other rod with 5 color core

    500 copper on the other with a 10 color core

    2 down rigger and 2 dipsy

    like many others i use spro swivel and polimar knot

    i use braid as backing

    oh and i use 700 tekota for copper and core

    and i use shower curtains rings and rubber band

    for release i've got 3 kind of rubber band

    depending on the pull i will change up to heavier gage band

    alot less expensif then those release they sell

    at the end of the day you reel in the the board and collect all those shower curtain clips

    they cost like 1$ for 20 in dollard store

    rubber band well i think its like 200 for 1$

  2. Hey bud

    i,ve installed a spx5 on my 20 foot

    very easy and fast to install

    they are under 2k $

    and you dont have to get it installed sinse its easy to do it yourself

    a bit noisy i agree but after a while i dont even hear it anymore

  3. Hey there

    i recently (yesterday)started using planerboard directly on my line

    with 30 feets mono leader 7 to 10 color leadcore maybe 100yard of mono backing

    with a mini dipsy for added depth

    i lost 4 fish out of 6 cause i couldnt set the hook properly

    and reeling in the planer was so hard causing a slack in the line

    the planer kept going down causing a great ammount of pressure

    when i was tring to reel in the fish

    resulting in you know what especially with steelheads

    problem wasnt in the tracking it handel the leadcore great

    my question is :do you tie or clip the planer directly on the line

    so it slips all the way to the fish or is there a special way

    to retrieve it more easily

    and is there a special way of setting the hook properly

    Thank you very much for all the great help on this site

  5. Hey Bud

    after reading your reply and what i've read on perko home site

    it does make sense thx Richard

    so i got to take a battery switch with an ( ALL) or ( BOTH) in between one and two

    thx again

  6. Hey Guys

    i'm planning on installing a battery switch on my boat

    number one battery: main motor ,automatic pumps,dash instrument

    number two battery: downriggers,gps,sonar,cb,fishawk,autopilot

    kicker will be plugged directly on battery two and not on the selector switch

    kicker is a 9.9 merc with elec start

    my question is this

    if i'm cruising with main motor can i hit the selector switch and put it on number two battery or do i have to stop the motor

    i want to make sure that the number two battery gets enought charge at the end of the day for the next outhing

    considering that the kicker wont be on since i'm cruising with the main

    can this do something to my battery or the alternator

    THX in advance for all the good help
