I have used a planer board for getting my crankbaits out further in currents when fishing from shore,with some success and was wondering if anyone else has tried this and your experiences.

Very interesting concept. Something I have never thought about doing before.
Thanks for the tip.

Let's see. One snagged $5 crankbait I can live with. One snagged $5 crankbait and planer board would keep me up at night.

Muskeye.the planer board if rigged proper should not get snagged as any tension on the release will release your line and planer will be okay.

The west coast company makes one specifically for shore fishing currents. It's a small collapsible deal that will easily take out your lure in the current. I've used mine successfully in the past to take chinook in holding pools using kwikfish and the drop back technique. With a lure constantly wobbling in their face, aggravation takes over and voila. I'm sure that it would work for other fish as well.
