A planer board is a device that is used to fish with multiple lines at the same time. It consists of a board that is attached to the boat and has a line release on it. Theboard is towed behind the boat and the lines are cast out to each side of the boat. When a fish hits one of the lines, the line is released fromthe board and the fish is pulled in by hand.
There are many different types of planer boards, but they all work in essentially the same way. Someboards have flags or lights on them so that you can see when a fish has been hooked, but this is not always necessary. If you are using live bait, you will probably be able to see when a fish hits your line. If you are using lures, you may need to keep an eye on your line or use a bite alarm to let you know when you have a bite.
When you are using a planer board, it is important to pay attention to where your lines are at all times. You don't want to accidentally cross lines or snag another fisherman's line. Be sureto stay well clear of other boats while fishing with planer boards.
