HOW TO PLANER FISH WITH WIND ON LEADER! Best way to catch wahoo & kingfish | Gale Force Twins

Planer fishing can definitely get complicated fast! 🐟 Pulling a planer behind the boat is a great way to fish different depths of the water column. It works especially well for targeting kingfish, wahoo, and barracudas! After uploading a video of us catching a wahoo viewers were quick to comment on our planer set up. We put this video together to show you EVERYTHING you need to know for easy planer fishing! 😄 With our simple planer removal and wind on leaders there is no need to hand line a fish when it's still 100 ft from the boat.

*I bought these and used them at the river where I get snags often they have done a **enjoyable.fishing** recommend great job of not breaking along with some strong line I purchased as well. They are super durable and easy to use.*

[@PaulBohling]

Love it. That's the way we did it off Guam....but we didn't tell anyone. Mahi-mahi, Wahoo (my favorite) and even had a blue marlin on a similar rig. We had a fisherman's co-op back then and sold our catch to pay for gas so it was more work than sport. Now that I've relocated to south Georgia from overseas, I'm looking forward to getting back offshore. Equipment sure has changed though $$$

[@Marktubemusic]

Heh guys, just watched your video on planer fishing. Here in northern (tropical) Australia we target many of the same species as in southern USA. A big THANK YOU for this clear video which explains step by step with clear communication - great to see. I fish with downriggers sometimes for pelagic fish down deep but geez it can get complicated, not to mention losing downrigger weights on reef structures! Planers are next up to try.

[@fwl1952]

thanks kids just picked up a planer kit, its interesting you are using a #4, the captain I was talking to is using #12s and much heavier bent handle rods for wahoo. I'm going to start small and target spanish and kings and may some black fin. Dont have the money yet for the fancy gear. Peace out.

I have shared this video with my friends. I Love all your videos. We have three fishing trips booked on Sept 24th, Oct 17th and Nov 5th. We're heading out 20 miles north of Trinidad (located in the South Caribbean) near the Oil Rigs to target Mahi Mahi on live bait and big snappers and groupers on Deep Drop banking (bet 400-600 feet). Its a Long trip. We normally troll 5 1/4" - 6 1/2" deep divers and have luck with King fish, Spanish Mackerel, Trevally, Bonito and other Pelagics. We're hoping to get some Wahoo though so we need to troll deeper. No one on out crew have ever tried the Planer. So, Definitely getting myself one and rigging up EXACTLY as you have shown. This video is the most simplistic and efficient I have seen in my research on how to rig them. The others I've seen all require you to hand line the leader in after the planer is retrieved. You girls are great, Thank you for sharing in clear, concise and detail of hot to set up and use the rigs. BTW...you're Both SOOOOOOOOOOOO Cute, makes watching even more interesting!!!!

[@kevinkawamoto7322]

Great video! Thanks for the tips. Don't know if anyone uses planers in Hawaii, but we got a lot of tricks. We use jet heads, rapalas and live opelu [ mackeral scad eg. speedos] for ono [wahoo]. Saw planers used on salmon on tv. Seem like a good technique. Tightlines.

[@GaleForceTwins]

[@F15Bluto]

Awesome video, and by far the best on planer rigging. One question for anyone who knows - why Bimini twist from the braid mainline to the swivel? And...how, since that’s a loop connection?

[@Reload77725]

You don't need a Bimini twist or any twist. Totally not necessary and just creates another weak point in the line.

[@AndyEmerson8]

Very cool video. It was great to learn more about how to run a planer. Over on the west coast of FL I've wanted to do this for King Fish. Typically I'll just use a diver bait like a YoZuri and I wonder if I can get it deeper if that would help.

[@GaleForceTwins]

Andy Emerson yes using a planer would definitely help to fish deeper if you get the larger sizes!

[@BuboyTheGreat]

The video i was searching for days. Im from Philippines and im slowly introducing rod and reel to my friends. I just want to reel all the line and not do the handlining. Your video just solved my problem. I love you guys. Fish on and keep safe.

[@GaleForceTwins]

That’s awesome!! I’m glad you found this video helpful 😊

[@thefishingcollege-amirelse1607]

amazing explanation .. in Egypt we are not familiar with planners .. we use diving boards .. personally I prefer planers .. to dive a diving board we should go faster which is not the case in planners for that reason I prefer them .. my main concern on the detaching techniques of the planner is that I don't like that the swivel to have a rough contact with the guides of the rod when I retrieve it inside the reel so I leave the planner inside the main line and I pull the 100 feet with my bare hands .. you should try fishing the red sea .. you will be amazed .. 😊

[@glennl9630]

Nice just starting to use planers it seems odd pulling the last 100' in by hand. Thank you! Well Done!

apologize if previously asked...is the bridle a little longer or shorter than the end to end of the swivel once planer tripped? it looked like a bit shorter in video. thanks

[@GaleForceTwins]

The bridle should be longer than your planer. Thanks for watching!

[@DarrenDeFeo]

Hi GFT, great video, very helpful. Quick question... What length pink Boone squid are you using and what brand and size Seawitch is that?

[@jamiestroupe890]

Hi! My fiancee and I are enjoying your videos and are learning a lot. We were wondering what knot are you using to tie your 80lb braid with bimini twist to your bridle wind-on swivel and what knot to tie your 200lb braid bridlw to your wind-on swivel? Keep up the great work!

[@GaleForceTwins]

Braid - uni - bridle - uni - wind on - double uni or blood knot - leader

[@GaleForceTwins]

Does that make sense?

[@chuckhenry407]

Hello ladies sorry for my previous question. Just ignore. I am new to planer trolling and trying to figure it all out. I just realized it was 100 feet of 65# mono. Okay I did it and tied it like you had it. But I notice that tying directly this way you cant switch in between different pre rigged skirted lures. You would have to cut each time. I realize you do it that way to make it more stealthy and less terminal tackle. But makes it more work to have to cut to switch lures. Can you instead tie a snap swivel to end of the 65# mono leader and make a loop on top of the 15 feet flouro with a crimp. That way you can switch lures without cutting. Thank You

[@GaleForceTwins]

You could do it that way! However, knots are weakness in the line. So the less knots the better! You would also be adding something shiny on your line. It’s not uncommon for cudas and kingfish to go after anything shiny like your snap swivel. If you give it a try let us know how it goes!! On a separate note, we will use the snap swivel method when we are running and gunning for mahi and tuna!

[@chuckhenry407]

Thank you so much for your quick response. It new to me like I said and all a little confusing. Thanks for great videos and explanation.
