The planer mast includes a solid 1-1/2" mast with machined aluminum reels, line guides, variable clutches, aluminum clutch knobs, aluminum cased pulleys with stainless steel sealed bearings, and a removable base. Revolving Handles are only included on the Manual Reels. It is recommended that you purchase a spare revolving handle to keep aboard your vessel in case of any intermittent power failure.
Mounting Options: The planer masts are available with a Track Mount that is designed to fit into most available track systems, or on a 5" x 6" Mounting Base. The mounting base includes an aluminum backing plate, gunnel plates, and a removable 4" x 5" plate to separate the mast from the gunnel mount.
The masts with a Break-Away option are designed to be split in half to clear obstacles like bridges, garages, and electrical lines. The two halves are joined together by a machined aluminum collar and locked in place by custom knurled thumbscrews. The thumbscrews lock into indentations machined into the mast to ensure the material always fits securely together, with no material galling. An additional mounting base is also provided to store the mast vertically next to the other half of the mast to your planer mast lines do not need to be unspooled each time.
12 Volt Motor Specs: Our solid aluminum 6” reels are powered by motors which are engineered and manufactured in the USA; these motors have 2½ times more torque than our competitors making it possible to retrieve any size planer board at any trolling speed.
Attached to the shaft is a heavy duty stainless steel collar which is built for precision adjustments of the clutch (other manufacturers use a thin snap ring which when too much pressure is applied breaks the ring causing the clutch components to rub against the motor housing, thus destroying the unit).
Additionally, we seal our motors through an extensive weatherproofing process to ensure a long lasting life of the motor.
Specs for Reel and Clutch Components: The 6” reel comes with a 7/16” stainless steel bore to fit the driveshaft. Attached to the shaft is also a heavy duty stainless steel collar which is built for precision adjustments of the clutch (other manufacturers use a thin snap ring which when too much pressure is applied breaks the ring causing the clutch components to rub against the motor housing, thus destroying the unit). Our clutch components use a hard anodized pressure plate and 660 bronze machined clutch pads for virtually no wear on the unit even after years of constant abuse. The clutch knob is also solid aluminum and unlike plastic knobs will neither break nor need replaced each season.
Aluminum Cased Pulley Specs:
Cisco pulley’s are constructed with solid aluminum side plates, hard anodized aluminum sheave, stainless steel SEALED ball bearings, and bolted together with stainless steel hardware. We manufacture quality products built for a lifetime of use! The sheave is recessed to prevent the line from being captured between the side plate and sheave. The 12/0 swivel is rated by the manufacturer at 1500 lbs (this swivel is constructed in the USA).
Unlike our competitors you will not find a single piece of plastic on our pulleys. This is also why our pulleys do not make any squealing sounds when in use. The stainless steel bearings provide a smooth and silent operation like no other pulley available!
