Brand new to both trolling and planers. I did not like the thought of hand-lining though. I tried your method. It works, and I boated fish. Thanks for sharing!
Hi Keith. Your only cutting off the hook part of the snap. The length of what's left and the tension of the spacing is more then enough to keep it connected. I've never had a problem. Hope that helps
A couple of dropper loops in the braid is quicker and easier and winds on easily. Just a matter of achieving the correct distance when making the loops
Hi AL. That's a great suggestion. The trick is to get the loops just right. I do a drop loop rig for surf fishing and sometimes it can be a pain to get the distance you want just right. Another reason I like this way is I can use it as a back up rig just to troll with if I need an extra rod. Appreciate your comments and watching the video and I'm going to work on your suggestion and give it a try myself. Tight lines.....
Hi. I always thought that when the planner has tripped the tension should be running through the bridle so the planner can be removed easy. You have it so the tension is running through your planner so when you try and remove it under tension it will be harder as the main line has that slack in it .plus when you remove the first clip off the bridle it will suddenly jerk the line tight. Just my thoughts..!!!
Hi Harvey. Thank you for your comments. So you are right about what your saying but personally I like it this way and here's why. Tension on the bridle at 100 % when the planner trips I've had break on me before because of wear on the bridle knot. Also I think the planner doesn't accidentally trip pre mature . And if it be I'd rather loose the fish then the planner. You can by all means use a tighter bridle and I do on smaller planners less then #4. Also then tension on the planner is a lot but not so much you can't disconnect it from the bridle. Hope this helps you understand why I make it this way. Tight lines.....
Really Nice Video. However I have some concerns about the bridle. It is constructed using two barrel swivels. After you retrieve the line up to the bridle and remove the planar, while reeling the bridle and leader in, those metal swivels under heavy tension from the hooked up fish will ultimately damage the guides of the rod (whether the guides are ceramic or metal). Eventually, those damages can cause abrasion on the line whether its braid, mono or fluorcarbon. Have you experiences this with the guides on your rod?
Maybe the guides getting a bit scratch from time to time but never damaged to the point I couldn't use the rod. This system isn't for everyone but it works for me. Thanks for the comments I hope this helps you figure out what you want to do. Tight lines....
THANKS FOR WATCHING. ILL SEE WHAT I CAN DO TO MAKE IT BETTER FOR YOU. ITS PROBABLY JUST THE WAY YOUR PULLING THE TAG END THATS CAUSING THE PROBLEM. ALSO THAT THICK LINE NEEDS TO BE WET TO HELP IT SLIDE.
SO THE KNOT I USED IS CALLED THE UNI KNOT. THERE ARE A LOT OF VIDEOS OUT THERE ON THIS KNOT. THAT MIGHT BE THE FASTEST WAY FOR YOU TO SEARCH RUclips FOR A VIDEO. IF YOU DONT HAVE ANY LUCK LET ME KNOW AND ILL MAKE A VIDEO ON KNOTS. THANKS, TIGHT LINES...
Thanks for watching and your comments. Like I said in another comment it's not for everyone but I like it and been using it for years. I only put it out to give someone an option if they wanted to try it. Tight lines.... .
Awesome video! What # test would you recommend for the main line with a #1 and #3 planer? Right now I have 50# braid on my trolling rods but looking to get into planer fishing
In most cases I would be comfortable with 50lb because you have the mono leader which will take up the shock of the bite. However don't go any lower then 200lb on the Bridle.
Hi John. To answer your question you can release the tension of the planer by picking your rod up out of the holder. Then with the tip pointed up towards the sky you will do a fast swoop motion all at once quickly by dropping the tip to the water in the direction of your planer then snapping it back towards the sky again will release it for you to check your bait. But that will only work with braded line. You will never be able to do it with mono. There's to much stretch in the line. Hope this helps. Hopefully in one of my next two runs off shore I will be doing a segment on how to do everything I just told you. Tight lines my friend. I hope that answered your question.
Hey Adam thanks for your comments. Are you looking for the double swivels or the tuna clips that go on the planer it self? The company for the bridle swivels is listed in the description section. The tuna double clips I can link for you.
Billfisher DSS200 double snap fishing snaps are the ones I used to hook onto the planer at each end. I bought them on Amazon but I just looked them up and they are not available at this time. I'm assuming their out of stock. Hope that helps.
It's really not that bad. Definitely helps get your bait to a lower depth in the water column. The sweet thing about this one you can remove the planer really quick. And if you don't want to planer fish you can use it as a conventional rig and troll with it top side. Thanks for watching.
@@OutOnTheReef Hi Captain again. Hey was wondering how you like your new camera you recently bought and is it working well with no freeze ups. My gopro has been freezing up a lot and looking into getting a new one. How do you like the one you have now? Any issues with it. Thanks.
@@oceandeepfishing4555 I am using a different one from DJI is an awesome camera it does not freeze up and you have two screens on it I place the link in description below check it out is the best camera now that I use captain and all those GoPros are always freezing up
@@OutOnTheReef Good Morning Captain. I have found a remedy to solve the freezing up issues on the gopro and ill have a video coming up soon to tell you what worked for me. Tight lines.
Hi Gary. Thanks for your comments. I just looked up the dipsey diver. Interesting gadget. It's just another form of a planer But the thing with that is you would still have to hand line your fish in just as you would with a normal planer. The purpose of the bridle is to take the planer off quickly to be able to reel in the fish all the way. I say whichever works best for you is the best way.... Thanks again for taking time out of your day to watch the video. Tight lines......
appreciate you making this video, but you probably edited out the most important part of the knot…when you form the loop at the swivel. so basically the bridle instruction is useless…moving on to the next video
After reviewing the video I agree it could of been a bit more clear but I believe there was enough there most could figure it out. But I appreciate your comment and I will take a bit more time in the future to get better at the instructional part. Thanks for your comment and I'm sorry you couldn't understand the complete knot tying process. Tight lines.....
@@oceandeepfishing4555 Appreciate your posting the instructional video. For those of us just starting out, we really need to see each step of the knot. I was able to find the knot elsewhere, so it all worked out. The rest of the video was very helpful. Thx for posting.
The bridle you showed at the end of the video is too long for what you are trying to accomplish. When reeling in a fish, the tension still is on the planer ends, not the bridal, making it difficult to unhook the planner swivel clips. Also, the swivel you are hooking the "cut" swivel end(s) in to, in your demo, has now your braid line knots in both ends of the swivel, making it difficult to squeeze that cut clip in to the same hole(s). You're close, but still have some engineering left to do to make this bridal workable. Good luck!
I've been doing thus for years and yet have to fix or replace eyes. It works for me but not might be for everyone. Thanks for your comments. Appreciate it.

GREAT explanation!! Thank you!!!
Thank you for watching. Hope you can try this out. Makes it so much nicer. Tight lines
The piece he cut off on the double swivel,so you dont have to hook it back to anything, what keeps it from coming off
Hi Keith.
Your only cutting off the hook part of the snap. The length of what's left and the tension of the spacing is more then enough to keep it connected. I've never had a problem.
Hope that helps
Great Video Ed!

I have some 135 lbs snap swivels should those be fine or should I got up
I think those will be fine for a number 4 or under. If you go larger, you might want to go to the 200 pound.

I use this same system and use it on rods with rollers at the tip so it doesn’t cause any problems.
Can you kindly show a more detail tying of that knot. I can not get it slide to the swivel. Thanks

As long as you have roller rods, I do not like rolling swivels through the eyes or on to my reel... may knick the leader...

Awesome video! What # test would you recommend for the main line with a #1 and #3 planer? Right now I have 50# braid on my trolling rods but looking to get into planer fishing
I do 50lb on my smaller planers but 80lb on all the others.
In most cases I would be comfortable with 50lb because you have the mono leader which will take up the shock of the bite.
However don't go any lower then 200lb on the Bridle.
@@oceandeepfishing4555 would the small ones be 1 through 4? Sorry I am new to planers☹️
@@GD_Golf 2 and 3.
4 I would consider lg.
Are you able to "trip" the planer by a quick release of the drag to check your bait without having to fight the planer?

@@oceandeepfishing4555 Thanks, very helpful. Would love to see a video of this if you get the chance.
Any chance you can link these pieces to assemble the bridles. Up in GA no one carries nor has seen these. Thanks Adam

Hello Captain. Planers looks like a submarine missile it looks very scary for the fish I'm sure it works👍👋

Thanks for your time and comments. I've done that for a long time and never had any issues.
It's just so you can reel it onto your reel.
I agree I run my My bridal shorter so it's easier to disconnect the the plainer when you have a large wahoo on.
Ruin your guides with this method
I've been doing thus for years and yet have to fix or replace eyes.
It works for me but not might be for everyone.
Thanks for your comments. Appreciate it.
