Line Fishing
When I was a kid, my dad and uncle used to use a fishing line with a shaped wooden paddle (i guess that's what I'd call it anyway) that would sink when being towed and once it had a certain amount of fish on would float to the surface...does anyone know what the shape of the paddle should be...?

Cheers

The paddle is a used to bring the line down to a specific depth and they're commercially available at any big fishing equipment store.

You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.

Are you talking about a planer board? This pic from the Cabela's Web site.

Don't think so, that seems to keep the float a set direction to the flow, i think sailing dog has the idea, but i can't find one online...
