2020, Planer Fishing Rods and Reels
If you are just getting started planer fishing, one of the first questions you may have is what tackle will be required. What we do with this fishing video is provide a few well thought out suggestion for the rods and reels that will serve your planer fishing endeavors well. The fishing rods and reels we discuss can easily be used for other types of fishing. Our approach with the information shared is to assume you are just getting started and do not have tackle that is suitable for planer fishing. Pulling planers and cranking in fish from the rod holder puts a lot of pressure on your gear. So, the tackle we feature can handle all the beating you are going to give it. You will learn about why medium action rods with good flexibility in the tip is ideal. We will share insights on the type of line guides you find on rods and why some are better than others. Even something like the type of reel seat you should consider for your planer rod is so important. Like the fishing rods, there are a a pile of good reels on the market, but we wanted to stick with our premise of recommending something that will serve you well across multiple types of fishing. We focus on durability and how much life you can get out of the reel. Obviously, how well you take care of your gear determines how long it works well. For planer fishing, you don't need a high speed reel. You need one that will crank in fish over and over again. Remember, what we discuss are basic setups. There are so many different rod and reel manufacturers out there and we like many of them. For this video, we discuss tackle that you will find in our everyday gear. We discuss these outfits because we fish with them and know how well they stand the test of planer fishing and time.
