2PK CHURCH TACKLE TX-005 STERN PLANER WALLEYE SALMON STRIPER
The 2PK Church Tackle TX-005 Stern Planer is a popular trolling accessory designed for targeting species like walleye, salmon, and striper (striped bass). Here’s what you need to know:
Key Features:
– Stern-Mounted Planer: Attaches to the stern (back) of the boat and dives to the side, allowing you to spread out lines and cover more water.
– Adjustable Dive Angle: Controls depth based on speed and line length.
– Durable Construction: Made for heavy-duty use with corrosion-resistant materials.
– 2-Pack (2PK): Comes with two planers for multi-line trolling setups.
– Target Species: Ideal for walleye, salmon, and striped bass in deep or structured waters.
How It Works:
1. Attach to Stern: Clips onto a release or planer board mast.
2. Deploy Line: Let out line until the planer reaches the desired depth.
3. Dives Away from Boat: Keeps lures/bait away from boat noise and in the strike zone.
4. Trip Mechanism: Releases when a fish strikes for easy retrieval.
Benefits:
– Precision Depth Control: Great for targeting suspended fish.
– Reduced Tangles: Keeps lines separated for efficient trolling.
– Versatile: Works with crankbaits, spoons, or live bait rigs.
Tips for Use:
– Adjust line length & speed to fine-tune diving depth.
– Pair with downriggers or snap weights for deeper presentations.
– Ideal for Great Lakes salmon, river walleye, or coastal stripers.
