What are your thoughts on Side Planers?

[SkunkedAgain]

Hey guys I'd really like to set up a good side planer system on my boat.  I tried it on my old boat, but haven't gotten it in place on the new boat.  I really liked the idea of the mast and a big solid out rigger float and then running the fishing lines down the main wire and using a release off the main line, but my home made stuff was not very good and I'd like to get something better, but I'm also not wanting to spend a fortune to do it...  What do you guys use? Anyone doing home made side planers that are legit? (My previous homemade one worked, but it would skip out of the water sometimes and lose it's bite) I really didn't like the side planers that are on your fishing line for the same reason I don't like leadcore, I hate something stealing the fight of the fish... Kind of just looking for good Mast and side planer ideas that I can incorporate on my boat for when I need to get a line away from the boat..  Thanks Jeff
