Using Off Shore Planer Boards With Marshall Hughey

Using Off Shore Planer Boards With Marshall Hughey

When it comes to spreading out baits and increasing the odds for catching some trophy catfish, pro angler Marshall Hughey of Wetumpka, Alabama knows how to make planer boards earn their keep. In this month’s gear column, we’re featuring two quick-hit videos with Hughey showing how he uses the Off Shore Tackle OR37 SST Pro Mag Planer Boards, the heavy-duty workhorses of the catfishing world.

In the first video, Hughey breaks down how and why he uses planer boards to get baits out away from the boat, making long drags more productive and anchored sets in current more effective. The second clip shows his bait prep and rigging method, including how to set up the OR37’s clip system.

These boards can pull more weight than any other inline planer out there, and Hughey shows why they’ve earned a place in his spread. If you’re serious about chasing big blues, channel cats or flatheads, you’ll want to give these a look.
