Inline planners attach directly to your fishing line and are easy to use. They do a reasonably good job on calm waters trolling a lure that doesn't drag to hard (like a deep running large crank). No other lines needed.
Here's an example .....

The big side planners require the boards to be tied off to the boat - they obviously pull allot harder, can be used in heavier choppy waters and have virtually no limitations on what you troll behind them. They also allow you to run multiple fishing lines off one planner set up. They also require the use of a hanger/ring and a release.
Here's what this set up looks like and how it works ...

Thanks. That's what I thought. Those yellow Off Shore ones looks like good stuff. I've been looking at buying a couple to try out. Getting outside the prop wash is ideal. I've always wanted something like that but never studied it much.
Would you say you catch more with a planer while trolling?
