Location: Madison, WI | Has anybody used the newer Dreamweaver Ninja planer boards for pulling around musky baits, specifically 10” and 12” headlocks and Matlock? Curious on how they operate. I fish solo 99% of the time so the single button release looks appealing. Thanks! |

Location: Des Plaines, IL | They are my favorite boards, switched entirely to them for exactly the reason you stated.
So far, knock on wood, haven't had issues with clips breaking or getting stuck when a fish is on, line slipping, etc. Really like them a ton since finding some in Canada a couple years ago. |

Location: oswego, il | Have tried them for salmon both sizes. They do work and releasing the board is very easy. I think attaching the board is a pain because you have to attach the line in two spots at the same time and the line has to be at two different angles. There is a trick to it but not always 100%. I prefer my church boards with the metal pin upgrade and the offshore latch clip. It seems to be the most trouble free setup. |

Location: Des Plaines, IL | Yep, haven't had any problems with really large or hard pulling baits.
As was stated above, there's a bit of a trick to getting the line to go on, but, at least with me, I figured out a good system and it's so quick and easy both on and off now. I probably should by a few more so that if any do break I have extras. |
