Quick take
A stainless steel planer board that diverts your line sideways while trolling for controlled depth coverage.
The AFW Size #1 planer board pairs a metallic stainless steel blade with a design made for controlled depth trolling, so anglers can run lures at set distances behind the boat. At 3.2 ounces and 7.8 by 4.9 inches, it is a light, compact choice for trollers who want a smaller board. Its corrosion-resistant blade is part of the build for trolling trips.
