There are many days, particularly when targeting rainbows, where NOTHING ELSE will catch a fish.
So yes, 100%, you will catch more fish having another option to how you present your offering.
I've had to send my planners out like 100 feet out or more just to avoid the shy rainbows when they are near surface on a clam day and seem to spook easily.
I've also had to send out 200-300 feet of line out behind my boards (PLUS the 100 feet or more that send them out sideways) just to catch these fish on some days.
I have the small boards on my boat at all times. They are also awesome to bomb drag the shallows with a surface spinning blade looking for big pike in early season.
