Clarkspoon CP1 Diving Planer
The Clarkspoon CP1 Diving Planer is designed to take your trolling setup deeper without the need for heavy weights or downriggers. As your trolling speed increases, the planer dives and maintains depth, allowing your Clarkspoon trolling spoons and other saltwater lures to reach fish holding below the surface.
Built with durable, corrosion-resistant hardware, the CP1 Diving Planer is a dependable addition to any saltwater trolling spread. Whether you're targeting Spanish mackerel, bluefish, king mackerel, or other coastal gamefish, this planer helps place your lure in the strike zone while trolling the waters of Hatteras Island and the Outer Banks. Available in two sizes, the CP1 offers reliable performance for both nearshore and offshore trolling. Frank & Fran's proudly ships nationwide.
