    Downriggers allow fishing No. 12 or 24 planers that reach suspended fish beyond standard No. 4, 6, or 8 planer depths. These larger sizes create maximum gear tension but deliver baits into deeper water column layers where game fish hold during specific temperature conditions or seasonal patterns that push them below zones smaller planers access effectively on rod setups alone.
