Wow! Awesome video. Thank you!!

Good video. I have been doing this same basic setup for years but with Dive Bombs as I feel they are easier to work with than having the lead flying around.

Good stuff, Russell!

Can't wait to try

Great info as always!

Great info thanks

Thanks Russ, I'm going to be set up your way this coming year.

Bought bunch of them torpedo weights when gander mountain went under for pennies on the dollar .. Thought id use them off the leadcore when i need it deeper never thought about running them like this .. Intreasting

Great info again Russell!! What length and action of rods do recommend on those larger boards using those size of weights? Thanks!

Hi Russell, Great video. Would you mind putting links to the items you mentioned in this video? thanks!

Can you run pump handle rigs of big boards with sliding release clips or are they only for use with in-line boards like the larger SST Pro Mags? I'm trying to decide between big boards and in-line boards when I rig up my boat for fishing this spring. Is there a "weight limit" that you would recommend for weight size on pump handles or other set ups like weighted steel, copper or lead core for big boards or would you just go with in-line boards all together. My only experience with planer boards (about 25 years) is with big boards on Lake Superior but never on my own boat.

Do you stick with the same weight, per side of the boat, and just let out more line? Or can you run say an 8-ounce on the outside board and a 12-ounce weight on the inside board?

Say you also wanted to use these for browns down 30 to 40ft what size balls would you run instead of 150coppers?

Great Video Russell, i have a bunch of 8 and 12 once lead balls and am going to give this a try next season. Would it be possible to give an approx depth that these setups would reach with line let out 50,100 and 150 on 50 lb braid. Thx

Is there a dive chart available? I have looked to no avail. I understand it’s only a starting point. I have seen the 50/50 charts but that doesn’t coincide with the 17’ lead Russel mentions.

Great video as always Russell. Do you need some waves for this to work optimally or will it work on a relatively flat lake (assuming we have one of those on Lake Michigan)?

What do you use for storage of the weights???

How do you deploy these with a DD in the water already?

Is there a benefit to running 6 Pump Handles vs 2 Leadcore, 2 dipsy Rods and 2 on downriggers? I see how this will enable you to zero in on the strike zone without having to use a lot of different gear. I was just wondering if I needed these on top of the Leadcore, dipsy rods and downriggers I already have. Thanks.

Hi Russell, Is there a specific reason for the mono between the weights and the clips? I've always just hooked my weights directly to the clip and I'm wondering if I should change.

Russ, could you clarify the distance of line behind the boards? You said if you are running three 8 oz balls on one side you would have them 70-90-110 feet back. Is the 70 feet back from the inside or the outside board? Thanks.

Great job- How do you let these out with divers?

what trolling speeds work best for this set up.

I have a question and it’s probably a dumb question.. but say I Spool a real with 10 colors do I have to always fish all of those 10 colors or is it possible to say only put out six colors clip on your planer board and fish it like that?

Would Offshore OR12 boards pull 8oz pumps far enough out or are the larger boards required for this?

Is it not recommended to run those torpedos in front of say two colors of leadcore?

Can I run them off of dipsy divers or do you recommend boards to run them off of??

Do you sell the weights?

What is a "copper"?

What is the name of your shop?
