You're likely familiar with the mast set-up the east coast guys use for Stripers. This is a killer rig...HOWEVER, you really need a LOT of area to roam; otherwise, the frustration of other fishermen will wear you out.
My personal preference is actually against boards overall. I much prefer multiple downriggers; even if I'm just trying to get 8 feet down; you can't beat 12 pounds of lead. |
Thanks Guys! This is kind of what I figured about a single board vs in line but I thought it was a cool concept.
I've never fished with either planers or down riggers but I'm very interested in what both bring to the table. For some reason I'm having premonitions of me with a lot of tangled lines somewhere down the road...
I'm going to be putting together some more tackle soon to troll with. Been looking at the ugly stik striper rods. Anyone have any experience with these?
Any other words of wisdom to get me on the right track?
