Planer Board Knot


Recommended Posts

My cisco planer reels came in.  I see the hole in the reel for the tow line to pass t through, but theres not a post or hook to tie too.  Do I just pass the line through and tie a big knot that can't pull back out?  Should I tie a trout bead to the end to ensure it can't come back through?  Whats the best way

You could use a figure eight knot or double figure eight. Or you could double over the line and tie an overhand. Whatever will make a fat knot will do. And like Gambler said, you shouldn’t get to the bottom of the spool.

I ran 250 or so before, was trolling a large flat that had boulders that were only 2 feet under water on a 10 foot deep flat that was 250 feet wide. works well.
