Sea Striker Trolling Planer - Size 1
The Sea Striker Size 1 Trolling Planer takes a spoon or lure below the surface without adding a heavy inline sinker. While trolling, the stainless-steel blade runs at roughly a 45-degree angle; when a fish strikes, the planer trips and rises, reducing resistance during the fight.

How to Troll a Planer
Rig the planer inline ahead of your leader and lure. Let it settle into its working angle before increasing speed. Depth varies with boat speed, line angle, current, and lure drag, so the listed range is a practical guide rather than a fixed depth.
