Re: outriggers

Depends on the kind of fishing you do.High speed trolling you need outrigers. Planer boards are for a lot slower trolling.They are better in fresh water.Jerry

Re: outriggers

It depends on how you fish. I have riggers and only use them once or twice a year when fishing offshore.

Running planer boards when Striper fishing is deadly. I run a set of 3-board x 36" planers with 100' lines and have no problems running 6 sets of baits off each side.
