Tired of paying Crazy Prices on Planer Boards. Try making a few yourself. They're easier than you think and if I can do anyone can do it! Thank you for watching, please subscribe and like and/or dislike if you wish. (Let me know why?) Have an awesome day! -Scott
Thanks for watching Tom. I have only used them once and they worked pretty well. I'm in the Mississippi River with heavy current so because they weigh a little more we have to watch how much current they are in. Have a great day and Thanks again. -Scott
I like it. Too bad you can’t go test it out today. I made one similar today and tested it out. Pulling it in my pond. Plan on doing some tweaking in the morning and hopefully trying it out. In the Bayou very soon. You get an a for effort. I love seeing people taking on these do it yourself projects
Hammer the bent corner down before you glued it. Second dont put the bolt in yet glue your foam first so you get a flat surface to put weight on to let it dry. Then cut a 45*deg angle on the foam then tape it so it glides thew the water. But any way just my 2 cents. You did a good job. I learned some good stuff.
That is awesome information. Thank you for watching and the tips. I’m making a couple more and will incorporate your suggestions. Have a great day. -Scott
it would probably be even cheaper to use a chip clip for the release clip. also instead of the styrofoam use one of those pool noodle from the dollar store
Great DIY video, thanks. I made my as you did also. I incorporated the 45deg angle and used wood instead with some sealants. It kind of worked. I will add some buoyancy and decrease the weight at the bottom and will try it offshore next week. Wish me luck. 👍
I think it would be better if you use 2-inch styrofoam instead of the full 4 in I think the 4in would make it off balance and not float straight up with a lot of weight
I had considered that when doing it. Never had making these and fishing on the heavy current of the Mississippi I was worried about two things, weight and current and which was gonna win! So far, after a couple times using, they have done ok, I am looking forward to testing quite a bit in 2020. Thank you for watching Dennis. Take care. -Scott
I couldn't live with that, why didn't you beat that corner up so it flatten out before you put that foam on it.... I make my own board as well but I like to make it a little more cleaner then that.
@@Bait2Bend i just bought a new boat the boat show. Bennington tri toon. The fishing model. Wont be in till end of April beginning of May. Do you know if those square monster rod holder bases work on the rail of a pontoon
I would think they would. I don't know that for sure however. Here is where I got mine. They were the clip-on's. www.hillsrodholders.com/en/ They fit on the pontoon just fine. CONGRATULATIONS ON THE BOAT. Excited to see as I'm sure your excited to get out and fish on it.

Great looking boards Scott, thanks for the video. Love the time out
Thanks brutha. Hope your doin great. Gotta love life’s little timeouts!! Peace dude.
Awesome video. Looking forward to seeing those in action. And the the lego timeout was pretty cool too!
Thank you very much. Sometimes in life you have to stop and play with Legos. Ha ha. Thank you for watching and have a great weekend.-Scott
I use plexi glass instead of metal. And pool noodle zipp tied to top.
Me too
Thanks for the video. I made mine exactly like you did.They worked great, better than the one I bought last year.

Waiting to see them in action next....great way to save some cash...those things are dang expensive now.
You’re not lyin. Lookin forward to the weather turning. Have a great weekend.

Nice DIY project. I wish you success with it.
Thank you very much. Greatly appreciated. Lookin forward to tryin them out this spring. Have an awesome weekend. -Scott

About to make my own as well. How did they work out on the water?
Maybe you should cut the leading edge of the stirafoam at a 45 degree angle fo less friction while using it ?
Your leading edge needs a taper to track good. Also use SS so you dont have rust, with lock nuts so you dont need to worry with then coming off.
Why does the bolt need to be so long? If it's to keep your line farther away from the board, wouldn't a 6" piece of cable for the release work?
it would probably be even cheaper to use a chip clip for the release clip. also instead of the styrofoam use one of those pool noodle from the dollar store
Hey Jeff thanks for watching. Yeah I’m gonna make a couple more and will incorporate the noodle instead of the foam. Have a great day.
-Scott
Ever make a follow up video? How was the results?
Cool project.
Thank you for watching. Looking forward to spring so I can get out and test em. Have a great weekend. -Scott

have you tested these yet?
how long is the eye bolt please?

I am in Alton, Illinois and fish the same area. I would sure like to know more about yer channel and get to know ya man.
Why is their no angel on the front to keep it out from the boat, wouldn't work in Michigan big lake
I couldn't live with that, why didn't you beat that corner up so it flatten out before you put that foam on it.... I make my own board as well but I like to make it a little more cleaner then that.
you didn't show what other hole on bottom was .you said weight but did i miss something.probably i'm guessing.
Do they work?????
3D printing some. Make 5 planer boards and it pays for printer and they looks no different than the original
Do you put in at yacht club?
I'm up at 2 branch. We should fish together sometime.
Absolutely. We’ll definitely connect this season. Yes at Yacht Club

Where do you get the green clip that you used on the I bolt
Amazon: search-Scotty mini release clips. Planter boards. They should pop up. Thanks for watching. -Scott
