I'm a newbie when it comes to planer boards. My daughter got me a gift certificate to Amazon for Father's Day (sorry, Chris!), so I thought I might use it to buy a couple of planer boards and try that out walleye fishing.

Some questions:

--Which make and which size would you recommend? I notice they come in various sizes and various companies make them.

--Do I need just the planer boards themselves (aside from the obvious rod and reel), or is there other hardware I need?

I'm trying to keep it as simple as possible (if that helps your answers). Talking maybe 2 rods going at a time at the most.

Thanks in advance for any tips and input.
