This is just what the salmon, striper, muskie, northern and walleye constitute an endorsement of the product or services advertised. fishermen have been asking for, something designed for pulling more weight. The TX-44 can handle lead core, copper or wire lines along with 1 pound of weight attached, but it can be used with mono and the super braids as well. The size of the TX-44 makes it harder for fish to pull the board under, however it is still easy to retrieve. The TX-44 sets upright in the water right out of the gate, which gives it the ability to troll extremely slow without restricting performance at higher speeds. This Super Planer is also reversible, it can be assembled to run port or starboard. The TX-44 Super Planer comes with a standard flag that folds down for easy storage and has the same patented* rear pin as all of Church Tackle’s boards. The new Vise Clip, which was especially designed for lead core and SUBSCRIPTIONS copper, makes accidental release almost impossible and comes standard with the TX-44 Super Planer.
