Thanks for all the names...........The planer the way it is now can not be triped what we did was slow the boat down and cranked it on in with no trouble on a 50LRS2 speed on a Key-Largo 80class rod with 400lb braid.Right now I have had a few Captains that want one we are going to the shop tonight and make 6 more large ones(5lbs) and 6 small ones(3lbs).Im not trying to put the old salty down these are for the ones who want to try something new AFTER ALL THIS IS STILL THE USA.
We have an 80 2speed that we use also.Like I have said we are still testing it and a smaller 3lb one also.Tripping planer I dont think so this planer is to get the baits down when the rubber band brakes all you have to do is start cranking the reel it comes up without a lot of trouble.
I like the trench plow and the cape look out digger.We will be pulling this tomorrow and hopefully have some video of it working.Thanks for all the input good and bad.
