Hi everyone,
I went fishing yesterday and like everyone else came home empty handed.

I had trouble with one of my new planer board clamps. It released my braided line at least three times and floated away.

I even wrapped the line around the clamp and it still released. The rubber pads are in good condition.
Any ideas? Should I be using anything but braided line?

Thanks guys


Hey RogerH

The suggestions to purchase another clip are good and I'm sure the red OR-16 clip will solve the issue...the only problem is that they're expensive. Some shops are charging almost $15 a clip!! Can't believe how expensive of -shore boards are getting. Love the product though.

One change I have made that solved the problem right away was spinning the front clip back towards the board. Sounds weird because the clip is mounted backwards but if you think of it, the more tension applied (by waves or boat speed) the deeper the line pulls into the clip. You will never drop a board again.

Should note the boards do run at a slightly different angle doing this so it takes your eyes a bit to adjust. If you do it to one board, you should do it to all so they're all running at the same angles.

Hope this helps.


brilliant! so simple, but effective!
