AFW In-Line Planer

The AFW In-Line Plane by American Fishing Wire is a specialized tool used to pull trolling lures deep into the water column without the need for heavy lead sinkers or complex downriggers. It operates on a diving principle: water pressure against its stainless steel blade forces the lure down to a precise depth as the boat moves.

Key Features & How It Works

Automatic Tripping: When a fish strikes, the planer’s balance shifts, causing it to "trip" and lose its diving resistance. It then produces a slight upward drag, allowing you to fight the fish rather than the weight of the gear.
Depth Control: A general rule for these planers is that for every 2 feet of line let out, the lure dives approximately 1 foot deep.
Durable Build: They are constructed with corrosion-resistant stainless steel blades and often feature a large brass ring to ensure a clean trip.
