Do any of you guys use planer boards for striper? I'm going to give it a shot this fall and was hoping for some tips on how much line to let out, good baits to use, and speed. I've already got some planer board rods and line counter reels.

Also, what do you guys think of using the mini-planer boards with a herring behind it? Do you think the mini's will support a fairly large blue back herring?

I'm excited to try these things out. Thanks and feel free to pm me with any help.
