Default Re: Recomended Set Up?????

I have 5 daiwa sea line sg's and they're about 10yrs. With no line counter probs. I love those reels. I've just started using in-line planers myself, so I went went with a set of Cabelas planer board rods. I believe they are MH 8`6 and inexpensive. I use 15 lb with a barrel swivel to 10lb fluro and right before the swivel I put a plastic bead to catch the board if the line releases. This will keep the board from going into your fish. I fish for hybrid and pure strain stripers and run live bait 90% of the time so on my planers I use live bait with no weight, but I let out only enough line to let the bait swim down to my desired depth. Then I attach the board....its not perfect but it worked. I also run 2 downriggers so that is where I'm getting better depth control. I probably left some things out so if you have questions just ask.
