The Cortland 141292 Spectra Planer Board 500 LB White 150 FT appears to be a specialized planer board line designed for trolling applications, particularly in fishing. Here’s a breakdown of its key features based on the name:
Specifications:
– Brand/Model: Cortland 141292 (likely part of their Spectra series)
– Type: Planer board line (used with off-shore trolling planers to spread lines away from the boat).
– Breaking Strength: 500 lbs (high-tensile, likely made from Spectra/Dyneema or similar ultra-strong polyethylene fiber).
– Color: White
– Length: 150 feet (typical length for planer board applications).
Common Uses:
– Trolling with Planer Boards: Attached to planers (like Offshore Tackle OR-16, Church Tackle, etc.) to keep fishing lines spread out.
– High-Visibility: White color helps with tracking in water.
– Low-Stretch: Spectra/Dyneema offers minimal stretch for better sensitivity and control.
Why Spectra/Dyneema?
– Extremely strong for its diameter (500-lb test is thin but durable).
– Resistant to abrasion and UV damage.
– Floats, making it ideal for planer boards.
Alternatives/Comparisons:
– PowerPro DepthHunter Planer Line (similar Dyneema construction).
– Mason Tackle Planer Board Line (nylon-coated for abrasion resistance).
If you’re using this for Great Lakes trolling, walleye, or salmon fishing, ensure your planers are compatible with the line’s strength. Since it’s 500-lb test, it’s likely meant for heavy-duty applications (big waves, large boards, or big fish).
