- Planer Board DIY is the subject of this video . you can make planer boards very affordably, and theres a lot of boards out there . people have been using them since the turn of the century but I'm focusing on the cosmetic side of Planner Boards , and copying a very popular and well working board which is the Zakk Royce boards . which I highly recommend using if your not the kind of person that likes making things , I own a set and they work very well for me ,,,,but I can't knock someone off and use they're name some I personalized em , here's a link if your interested in his boards. bottomdwellers... you won't regret buying em.
also Mr Matthew Anthony has a great video he just did on his channel about planer boards.
he's a great and experienced fisherman , here a a link that will take you to that video

Them boards came out awesome! Love the shirt as well!
muddyrivercatfishing thank you Sir, I appreciate that , it means a lot coming from you , I've been representing lol just about wire that shirt out , I'm going to have to replace it next week at CatCom. I'm looking forward to meeting you again
Learned about planer boards, I knew exactly where to look. 🙂
Awesome looking boards
hooked up thank buddy
So I came across your channel and became hooked. Pun intended. I have used or modified a bunch of your hacks to build my own fishin gear. Just finished up my 4 planner boards today. I’ve also built your drift weights and man do they work.
I built my own PVC JUGS for catfishing as well. Thanks for the channel and all the hacks. You are a staple for me and my coworkers who love to fish.
Great looking boards. I also liked the music... made me grab my stratocaster!
Lol thank you
That's the way to do it man. You make it look so easy.
It's not too hard , but video along with good editing has a way of making everything look easy haha . Thanks for commenting brother
you went all out buffing and all haha! getting ready to make myself some!
Another great video as always my friend. Keep them coming. Thanks for sharing.🇺🇸
Thank James I appreciate that brother
Thanks for the tips! Great Video.
I made another set of boards from balsa wood , you should look it up . You'll like it even better I think
Awesome awesome awesome video. You and Matthew both had great videos on making planer boards. Both videos will get thousands of views and there will be hundreds of diy planer boards getting pulled around soon. Great job again
Thank you Sir you sure know how to give a guy the big head lol . They aren't that hard to make . And I really appreciate you watching brother
You are one talented man my friend 👍. Great video, keep em coming!!!
Michael Rogers thank you Brother, keep it up and you going to give me the big head lol . Just kidding that won't happen, I really do appreciate the support brother . If you ever have any ideas let me know
You are truly Welcome. You...get big headed...I doubt that...lol ! Take care, and have a great weekend.
You too buddy be safe out there
Great video! I am making some now, I had a hard time finding the aluminum bolts. I do like making everything so I found aluminum gutter nails (for house gutter). I smoothed the side on belt sander and threaded the end. I thank it’s going to work well.
That's a lot cheaper too , you can use threaded rod , a lot ppl do . And it can be very thin because the threaded rod is stronger , but I like stuff to look good lol . Thank you for watching , and i really appreciate it when people take the time and comment it means a lot brother
I like that you streamlined the video its good
Thank you . I have 2 more planer board videos . You might like those . My favorite is the balsa wood planer boards
Great idea love it 😉👍🎣🎣🎣
Thank you I appreciate you watching
Very nice Kieth. I’ll take at least one set!!!
lol never said I was selling em lol , but maybe I can hook you up . I appreciate you watching buddy and blowing my head up a lil
Thank you for the information. I met you at the Catfish Conference today and talked to you about planner boards and adding pvc rod holders to a milk crate. If it is a large crate, you could add 4 to 6 to it, and hold up to 4 rods in the water. Looking forward to your next video. Be safe
Thank you brother . I was great meeting you today . Really besides comments I read subscribers start to be numbers and I don't mean that bad . But getting the chance to meet ppl in person is great . And it helps put things into perspective. It was great meeting you Sir
Very cool Keith DIY, I am finally done with my garage and all I need is a bench grinder and i'm good to go. They sure came out pretty!
Heck yeah man . You gonna be a DIY man too huh . I appreciate you brother you know that . I wish we lived closer so we could fish
@@FishinNStuff Me to man me to.
Those planer boards turned out awesome! That was a great project and DIY video!
Thank you Sir I appreciate it , they did turn out pretty good considering that was the first set ive ever made before . I appreciate the comment brother
Great video. Thanks for sharing.
Great video thank you for sharing 😊 💕💕 💕👍 👍👍 👍👍 👍
Hey thank you for watching and commenting
Awesome video, nice job!Looks great!
Thank you Sir I appreciate Mr Hurt
Ol sorry this is Fishin N Stuff i was logged into my new channel I just started brother my bad
Thanks for the video. Very good info for the diy.
Thank you buddy that means a lot . I try to improve every video in one way or another
You've got more Play Toys than Carters got Liver Pills....There's nothing that you can't create....Awesome!!
Wes Lovelace thank you Sir lol , that means a lot coming from you . The king of the play toys lol . You got a boat for every day of the week lol . I appreciate it brother . These would work great for trolling in the salt
Man you always coming up with something ... Great video ...makes me want to make something indeed. I had never heard of planer boards used that way til your video 🤷 🕵👍 i always thought those were fir ice fushing ir something...keep making these videos brother one of these are going to viral watch ...
Crappie Sniper thank you brother you know I always smile when I see you left a comment, planer boards are great ppl use em for trolling for catfish , stripedbass , and I've even bass fished with em . More ppl dont troll for bass but kayakers do and I've done that a lot too . Something that might interest you is ppl around here use smaller versions of this to troll for crappie
Now that's a shop!!
Thank you brother , you just got to buy one tool at a time , I appreciate it
Check out the newer video , the balsa wood planer boards I like those better
heck ya! Planner boards are more effective than just trolling. i believe the % of catches from planner boards compared to stern fishing is about 70%. i learned that from a charter boat capt.
I would agree with that , they let you cover so much more area at once
Your boards are prettier than mine! .......Good video, thanks for the shout out, You took more time making yours and they look good,I'm always in a hurry when I'm making things.
I was just showing the different opinions that you can do , but I like your I like stuff to look good but how they pull and spread is the most important thing. You had some good ideas and I just wanted ,,,,like I said ,,,,,,ppl to have more options
You have great skillz Bro.
Thank you Steve , now if I had your editing skills I would be a Alpha Male like you 😜 , ,,,,,ps I'm still waiting , you off vacation yet lol
Great video as always. I enjoy watching your videos
Thank you Sir , I appreciate it
I really enjoyed that video walk through was an awesome video , if you find the pictures of the process making it . You should make a video of that too
Dang man those things are slick, I use planer boards all the time...would be cool to build a few custom branded ones...great video
Thank you brother , I imagine they would look even better next time . Those were the first ones ive ever made lol
I definitely need to make a couple of them
I love trolling in the winter for blue cats it's a great technique for slow days , they work great
Man your good at this! I've been impressed on every video. Enjoyed it.
Been thinking of getting some of these for trolling, looks like i can make a couple without too much hassle! Thanks for the DIY buddy!
They aren't to bad to make , it actually wouldn't take long at all if you dont customize em like some ppl lol , I think it I made more I would use really thin threaded rod hammer the end flat and drill a hole then put shrink wrap over it and that would make it ser cheap
@@FishinNStuff i oredered some 1/4" aluminum rods off Amazon. 10" long so I can get 1 set out of one rod. Threaded the ends with fine thread. I think 10 of them were less than 10 bucks.
Sold by stoner metals
@@railroader010171 that's a good idea , I started too do that , but I found those bolts so I went the easy route. You can use regular threaded rod if it's a very small diameter. A little weight won't hurt nothing
Those are really neat man! Good job. A lot cheaper than buying them expensive things.
Thanks brother I appreciate you watching and taking the time to comment, they turned out better than I thought for a first attempt
@@FishinNStuff your very welcome buddy! I enjoy watching your vids.
Thank you for giving me the big head haha jk brother
Man this is VERY cool!
Enthusiastic Fisherman thank you bro I appreciate it , I tried to make it cool , I think they turned out good too . Thanks for your comment Sir
Turned out awesome, nice job
Thank you , I've hit a new video about planer boards that turned out better
Good looking boards buddy
Thank you Sir , I appreciate that
You the man Bro. 👊💪
Thank you buddy , I appreciate you always commenting and encouraging me man when TH-cam get tough to do after working every day ppl like you are a big encouragement brother
Great work again
Thank you Jackson
Have you watched the balsa wood planerboard video yet . They turned out awesome
Nice work. These looks awesome. I could use a set for light tackle trolling. I'll have to give them a try. I have a setup of huge planner boards I use for trolling big lures in the Chesapeake Bay for striper in the spring. I pull up to 6 lines on each board. I'll be sharing this setup pretty soon.
Thank you Sir , I've got some small ones too . You can use for bass or crappie trolling . I appreciate you watching brother
Great video man.
Thank you Sir, I appreciate it.
@@FishinNStuff you have 1 heck of a shop , and your pumping out some great videos. Keep them coming
Like 44. Great 🎥 my friend 👍👍
Thank you brother
@@FishinNStuff Your welcome!
Dang Keith between you and Quinton y'all are right handy to know...I sure hope I get to see you at the conference next weekend...We should make some plans to fish brother....👍👍
Im sure I'll see ya I hope lol . We are going to the Saturday show . Yep wer beef to go fishing one of these days
Ive been thinking about getting a bigger boat but I'm waiting till after spring , I love catfishing but I love that spring time crappie bite too and I'll have to order a boat and dinner wasn't to be without one during the best fishing season wer could do a crappie trip or me you and Nuskool could go one night when it warms up , he's got a bigger boat
Awesome..We will talk more about it at the conference...
Brilliant.
Thank you buddy I appreciate you my friend. Have you ever tried using planner boards ive got small ones I used for trolling for bass before
@@FishinNStuff Never. In Ireland when fishing for trout or salmon you are only allowed to use one rod. The rules are getting worse and worse barbless hooks only one hook on a spinner its all gone mad. Bloody mad.
Zach is awesome he is from my hometown
Brother, I love this video! Great Work! I bought Christina a Cricut machine for Christmas.. looks like it's time for me to borrow it, too. :-)
Yep hahaha thank u sir
They turned out great. Nice coloring and the logo on there. I don't know if it is worth while to make them myself though when I factor in the cost of my time. Good stuff.
I do the samething but it's still cool having custom stuff sometimes , I appreciate it brother
@@FishinNStuff And knowing how to make them if the stores out and you need them in a pinch.
I saw alot of talent from you drilling them holes in that round rod i know what thats like with stainless rods
That was harder than it looked lol . If you can get it started you got it though
Those look pretty good man!
Jake Deal thank you brother, I like to over kill stuff lol , but really customize planer boards could be the wave of the future haha . I appreciate you watching and commenting man
Man that's an awesome video! Good explanation...
Hey buddy , thank you brother I appreciate it, you ever use em when you were fishing ?
Yeah man. I like using them. Our home lake is full of trees so it's hard to drag alot of baits with them. But, I'm going to experiment more and hopefully get to use them at santee some this year too.
@@TeamCatWhisperer your right its hard trolling when the bottoms full of debris
I'm making some thanks!
Thank you John , I think you'll like em . I appreciate you watching and commenting brother
How far back and down do you put the bolt? Is it important for the rear clip be at the bottom? What happens if you move it to the top?
Ingenious
Thank you buddy that means a lot , and it means a lot when ppl comment it's encouraging so thank you Sir
Great video! These should work for walleye as well. Just cant believe the price of them clips!
They would ,,, the clips are a little high but the planer boards are like 60 dollars a set of you buy em
www.tacklebandit.com/product-page/zakk-royce-planer-boards
Those are sweet! Best looking boards I have seen! Now I got to try and make me some.
Thank you Sir , your pretty dang crafty I'm sure you won't have any problem making some . Do you use em
I have used them for walleye fishing. Not yer for cats. Only tried drifting for cats 1 time so far. Got a lot to learn.
It's not hard , I started trolling with 2 rods and got the hang of it then started adding planner boards into the mix later
Hi, super video! Great! Just a question: which is split ring size you use to connect clip and snap? Thanks.
i think it was 1/2"
Prairie bolts are used to hold back a prairie dog! Lol. 😂😎😁
lol
Oh snaps that's badass
Thank you brother , I'm gonna be making another one soon . I have a better idea , I appreciate you commenting buddy
Ok cool ill be on the lookout for the video
Love to see how this is rigged up. Also a pool noodle could work And I just purchased a sun tracker fishing barge 20dxl that has squat for rod storage. Would like to see a recommendation for a diy to help me out on this
You can use pool noodles on them. I've got a couple planer board videos and used different materials
Nice bro keep them DIY's coming
Thank you Sir I appreciate it , is there any thing you would like ti see in particular
yes sir if you could how about a DIY drift sock think on it thanks lol 🎣💕
That my friend is a great idea , i'l start thinking about it
Auto correct kinda screwed that up lol , I'll do that . Let me do some research on it , and any more ideas are welcome
Hi I need help putting rod holder on a sundolphin pro 120 they made out the same material as a kayak. And thanks in advance thinking some kind of scotty rail system
Great video man 👍🏻
Thank you buddy I appreciate that and I appreciate taking the time too comment as well
Anytime bro
Can you do some salt water diy. Like a good rod holder for surf fishing or bank fishing in the bay.
Im working on something now for bank fishing that will work for salt or fresh . And I've got one I did on one of the PVC videos
Sexy boards for sure. Be great for striper and catfishing. Should pull pretty decent sized baits. Great video
Thank you brother, if you need some I KNOW A GUY hahaha
hi supre super DIY! I wanted to ask what size the plate has? hello and thanks for everything
I have another planer board DIY I made a year or so later . They are both old . But it's call a balsa wood planer board . It's better video and a better explanation of how and why it's made like it is . Plus it was a nicer board
awesome
Thank you I love your channel name😁
I'm building some planer boards and wondering how far from the front you drill the hole for the line clip bolt?
You can cut aluminum sheet with a carbide blade on a table saw, easy peesy !
Good tip
I love "DIYs"👍🏽your amazing tho👍🏽
Bruddah'd Tv man thanks , I appreciate you saying that but I'm not sure I'm amazing lol , I've been called a perfectionist a few times though lol
Fishin N Stuff 😊👍🏽you are to me, learning a lot👍🏽
I help you any way I can buddy , sorry for the late reply TH-cam doesn't always notify me , I really appreciate you watching brother
Love em !!! Do you have exact measurements of where to drill the hole for the attachment arm ?
This is a new version.
And it's a better board with better instructions
th-cam.com/video/j-0wqCQiYiU/w-d-xo.html
i like your channel however i guess i would have to spend over two thousand in tools. and spend several hours to set up and make. well for me, it is cheaper to buy. love the channel keep it up
Thank you Sir I appreciate that , most of the stuff I make can be made with basic tools which is what I started with but just added too em over the years, this project in particular could be made with a 10 side grinder from harbor freight which I actually did use a hand drill and some tape to cut the tape instead of vinyl, and a utility knife for the styrofoam, but I do understand as much as I like making stuff I still buy some stuff too , I appreciate you commenting sir
Looks like they should work. I've tried using them a couple times, but they don't spread out too good for me going .3-.4 mph like I was told you want to drift for catfish at. By the time I have to move and start over, they've just finally got out where I want them... 😂
I've never tried using em drifting but it seems like it would be difficult, I troll with em and like planet boards but I catch most of my fish on the rods right behind the boat honestly
@@FishinNStuff the winds in Oklahoma are usually in enough to move my pontoon, I had the same problem getting my boards out. The last two times I've gone I use trolling motor to keep the boat straight and the boards work great. Also caught 5 fish on Boards and 2 on others
Is any video's of them fishing??
First off... let me say how awesome you are, and how much I'm enjoying your channel!! Can you provide some clarification on how you attached the aluminum bolts to the planer board once you cut the heads off? And also, where you got the clips from? Thanks!! :)
I cut the head off and attach it with 2nuts on the threaded side the smooth side that's left where I cut the head off is where the clip goes , you drill a tiny hole fur the spit ring
You look up release clips for trolling and you'll find em here a link but you might find a better deal than me
www.amazon.com/dp/B001YS6STE/ref=cm_sw_r_other_taa_Qsr9EbFEKPSNB
@@FishinNStuff Like I said: You're awesome! Thanks!!
Ol i forgot , you should watch the balsa wood planer board video i have i like those much better
@@FishinNStuff Will do!
How long are the finished bolts when you put the clips on ,and what it the location of the hole for the bolts ,can you go back to far or be to far forward
I will check brother , if memory serves me right . The bolt was 6 inch long , and it was 3 inches from the front edge
Как вы выщитуете на каком растоянии делать отверстие для болта?
Can you use planer boards from the bank, in a river current to spread your lines out?
I think it would work but ive never tried it¹
Great videos!!!!! Do you have any DIY videos on how to make a live-well??
Yes Sir I do have one and I have a different video showing it in action at a TH-cam catfish tournament as well , I have a old video on how to make a bait well to that simpler
th-cam.com/video/IfVxyD1ELqA/w-d-xo.html
th-cam.com/video/nN5IueY0M2M/w-d-xo.html
how thick is the aluminum plate please ?? .i am using 1/8"~( 6"x 12" x 1/8")~but am thinking it is to heavy @ 16 oz. what do you think with a pool noodle along the top?
They actually work good . I have another video where I used balsa wood for the top and I talked about pool noodles being used , they with good but they don't last . The balsa wood worked out really good
Is the cut out curve in the board necessary or will it work fine just straight?
I don't believe it's necessary personally . I think it's more of a cosmetic feature myself
ok so now that i went to harbor freight and bought a welder LOL!! i get the planer board. but how do you know if a fish is on??? I cant get that part. Anways. I subbed the channel and appreciate all you do!! Akso curious as to where you are located!! Have a blessed day!
Im in NC , the planer board will float upright pulling away from the boat , that's what keeps the lines spread out . When a fish hits it or it gets hung on something the one side is hooked to your line the other side is clamped onto your line by being squeezed like in between your fingers . When it gets pulled out of the clamp and floats all crazy they say it's been tripped that's the sign your hung or a fish is on it . Thank you for subscribing and commenting brother I'll help you any easy I can
@@FishinNStuff thats amazing. two of my sisters are in NC. one in charlotte and one in Winston Salem. Thanks for the videos my friend.
Im about 30 mins from Charlotte
I don’t fish with planer boards but I’m considering it. Some of the how-to videos emphasize that planers just move horizontally so that rods three and four are out to the side well rods one and two or more down the middle. While fishing in the ocean recently, they were using planer boards to dive down 15-50 feet… Is this just a different type of planer board...a diving one?
These had substantial weight on them with no floatation on it. Is this just same name for onshore/offshore uses?
Those may be different planer boards there's several different kinds . The kind I made , I have a how to on
Fishin N Stuff yeah I watch that one too. And I popped over to some ocean fishing guys to confirm that I wasn’t nuts - you can see in their designs they don’t have flotation, actually kind of the opposite. They have a big honkin weight on the boards we used & depth stamped on them - 10/15/20/etc.
Maybe there’s a new how-to for that - horizontal planer board plus vertical planer board… You could probably even make your own lead
I'll look into that
Would plastic dip melt the foam? If not, it would make it much more durable than painted styrofoam.
That's a great idea I would almost bet you , it wouldn't hurt the foam. But I would test a piece first . Either easy that's a great idea . I had an idea after making those , I experimented a lot making that video and epoxy doesn't hurt the foam . And it drys hard . I thought about trying it out . The reason you can't use spray paint is only because the acetone in it eats the foam pretty quick
Fishin N Stuff Two other ideas also come to mind... Closed-cell polyethylene foam (like pool noodles are made from... ) would make a really durable float material. And you could attach it with small bolts and fender washers. Of they get damaged you can replace them easily enough.
The other material would be balsa wood attacked with bolts. And since it's wood you can put it with whatever and it also very durable.
Balsa wood is a really good idea man , easy to get and work with , dang you need a DIY channel lol . I thought about pool noodles but I don't like the way they look on planer boards a lot of ppl use em . They look homemade which is fine but I like stuff too look like I bought it you know . I try to make stuff with materials that's ready to find ,,,,,if I can lol
Quick thought. A person could flatten out some PVC & use that couldn't they? Or do you need the weight of the aluminum?
You could do that , some people use plexiglass. But you do need a little weight , but it can be added
@@FishinNStuff that's what I thought. Like the idea of balsa wood. You could even use Plast-Dip to coat it
Hey Zac, how wide is the Styrofoam on each side?
How did I mount the clip rod to the board
Joshua Callahan I drilled a hole 2and 3/4 " from the front and just below the foam as close as you can get but dint touch it , and put a nut on the bolt put it in the hole then put another nut on the outside
How far from side did u put your rod for clip thank u
The one that clips in to your line gos away the bottom back as close to the corner as you can make it the third eighth the release clip is 2 3/4" from the from up against the foam almost
Thank u sir
You are welcome anything I can do to help buddy
It would probably be cheaper to find plain aluminum rod stock and thread them .
how thick is the aluminum plate ? is it 1/16 " or 1/8" ?
I like 1/8 . Because you actually need a little weight on the bottom to make them stand up correctly
all that and no Zinc Chromate primer on the Alum?
I made a better set of planer boats out of balsa wood . On another video
did i miss something? measurements for holes in plate? my bad?
Where did you get clips?
Amazon , just type in planer board release clips
Great job on the planer boards. I had a few questions that may come from my inexperience with planer boards. First, how far from the edge did you put the hole for the bolts? Maybe I missed that in the video. Also, what made you choose aluminum for the board material? And lastly, for the board to pull to port side, would the rounded corner need to be to the left? I've never used planer boards and I'm not about to pay $50 for one. This Carolina boy will make his own. Thanks to you.
Hey brother thank you so much for watching , I picked Aluminium because you want a little weight on the bottom but you still want it too float , some ppl use plexiglas but you might need to add some weight , steel would be a little heavy plus it would rust . , the holes on mine are about 2 and a half inches from the front but the length of the bolt goes into that measurement, you want the angle of the line like 30 to 40 degrees different from the Aluminum so they pull away from your boat , and yes you do put the bolts on different sides , you dont have to worry about which side you cut the corner both sides are the same just put the bolts on opposite
One thing is what was the measurements for the holes??
Hey buddy I'll get you the measurement but I never tell ppl but I'm telling you lol im almost done with a new planer board DIY video ive been working on , so I would hold off building one . I might like the new one better . Ol and I'm sorry I left that measurement out that's an older video lol ive learned a lot since then
@@FishinNStuff Kool no prob I'll be waiting for the updated version.
It should be done Sunday
How thick is the aluminum sheet?
Just curious I want to see some rod holder diy videos for some pier salt water rod holders / ways to keep your rod from rail rash I have some of my own ideas but id like to see some more love your content ive watched well over half of your videos and screwed up I thought I subscribed a long time ago but today I realized I didn't so here's a sub a comment and a like
I was thinking about doing that actually
@@FishinNStuff I’d love to see it! That live well that you did was awesome never would have thought to do that!
Can you weld that's where I run into problems usually
@@FishinNStuff yes sir aluminum, tig, mig and stick
@@FishinNStuff if you’re not good at welding just hit it with a sander after you get the slag off so it doesn’t look “ugly” everyone starts somewhere
Have you tried them boards out as of yet? I purchased some at the conference to try this year and they look a lot like yours but I'm always looking ways to save money, lol.
No Sir I haven't had time to fish yet I also went to the conference and finished editing a video yesterday, but I'm going to I'm sure they'll be easy to adjust if they dont , I made em just like the zakk Royce boards I have I made em 1 inch shorter because my bolt was a lil shorter hoping to make up the difference, but I'll let you know on a up coming video
@@FishinNStuff I purchased some from Park Planer boards at the conference and they look alot like yours. I have never ran planer boards so may have to get some tips off ya..lol
I'll help you any way I can brother , I'm about to post a new planer board video ive been working on that's really different. I bought my first set too but they are kind of high for no harder than they are to make
A big pool noodle and the back plate from an old washing machine works. But doesn’t look as fancy as yours
That's what one of my friends uses too
Great video! Where did you get the clips ?
Amazon ,, ive got another better planer board video called balsa wood planer boards . It turned out great I liked it even better
What do you use to cut the stirofoam
I used my bandsaw . You should check out my balse wood planer boards . They were even nicer
I'm in process of doing balsa wood. I cant seem to find the high quality of foam that the people selling them use. Do you happen to know what foam it is
How do you know it will work?
Obesity used it and made another video and improved them . And made video of me using them .

This is the better version
