Parks Crappie Planer Boards

Parks Crappie Planer Boards are compact, lightweight in-line planer boards built for spreading lighter crappie and multi-species trolling presentations. Their smaller aluminum-and-foam profile creates less resistance than the larger Parks catfish boards, making them better suited to light line, small crankbaits, live-bait rigs, and other finesse trolling setups.

Key Features

• Compact planer-board profile for crappie and light-tackle trolling
• Lightweight aluminum construction with dense flotation foam
• Approximate dimensions: 5 1/4 in. long x 3 1/8 in. tall with 5 in. of foam
• Approximately 1 in. thick foam
• Sold as a matched right-and-left pair with two Scotty clips
• Designed for pulling lures, divers, and live-bait presentations
• Made in Le Roy, Kansas, USA

Best Uses

Use Parks Crappie Planer Boards to spread crankbaits, jigs, minnows, and other light presentations away from the boat while trolling for crappie. They are particularly useful for covering broad flats, creek channels, and suspended schools with multiple rods while keeping baits separated. Their smaller profile also makes them suitable for other light-tackle species when a full-size catfish board would create unnecessary drag.
