Church tackle 007 Stern planer

[fishinfreak]

Do any of you guys have experienced fishing these with copper. I was wondering if a 007 stern planer would handle a 300 ft copper. It would be nice to get it out of the way when running it down the chute. Thank you to all

We don’t use copper but it works great for braids. Keeps the shoot open for landing fish and alows extra rod. Some days one our best presentations

I almost always have a chute rod out on my stern planer. I haven't pulled anything more than a 200 with it but it showed zero signs of struggling with that. I suspect it will handle a 300 just fine. Fishing solo, it's biggest advantage to me is the ability to open the bail with the clicker on and let it run further back to get it out of the way when landing a fish on another line. The stern planer line is still fishing and I know my outside lines will come in underneath it with no tangles possible.

I use the stern planer with a 300 copper frequently. It is fantastic. No issues.
