GUYS.....LIKE PONCE SAID....I RECOMMEND THE 80 TIAGRA..


SURE THERE ARE MANY OTHER VARIATIONS TO SET UP A PLANER ROD/REEL

AND I CHOSE THE 80, 16 OLD SALTY PLANER.....NO WAY COULD I EXPLAIN OTHER REEL SIZES AND PLANER SIZES WITHOUT CONFUSING THE MASSES

YOU GUYS THAT DO USE THE 50 I HOPE YOU WILL CHIME IN HERE

ONE DAY, IF I EVER HAVE A HI-DEF VIDEO GALLERY TO POST IN, I WILL REDO THE SNIPER SET-UP ON FILM

any reason to go with a 24 over a 16? i have the tiagra 80 and the planer rod... just need the old salty planer now

The 24 is gonna pull deeper for the same amount of string out... It will also add a good bit more pull on the drag... Don't have exact numbers

According to the Old Salty Site...

#12 - 175 ft
#16 - 200 ft
#24 - 225 ft
#32 - 250 ft

Your not gonna need the #24 for the fish this time of the year they are all biting in 90-100 feet of water. The fish in the spring though are in 120-180 feet of water so you need a bigger blade with the angle of the current.

I can second the Triton 80w. After seeing Box's setup I knew I had to give it a shot. Someday I will be able to get the Tiagra...(saving for his rigging class first) but you can pick up a Triton fairly resonable but you loose the two-speed.
Regardless what you use to pull it with the system works and should be part of your spread...
