Built from CNC-machined billet aluminum and assembled with solid stainless steel and 660 bronze clutch components, the Cisco Electric Planer Board Reel is engineered for a lifetime of hard-water use. The high-torque 12V motor — manufactured in the USA — delivers up to four times the pulling power of competing units, bringing in planer boards smoothly at any trolling speed. A highly adaptable mounting plate fits virtually any tubular support or flat surface, with 14 tapped hole locations and a fully adjustable line guide that indexes into 12 different positions.

12V Motor: Engineered and manufactured in the USA, the motor produces a grand total of 90 lbs/in. of torque per revolution. An extensive weatherproofing process protects the motor for long-term durability. Output is routed through a modified output shaft with dual split transmission collar for consistent, controlled retrieval.

Reel & Clutch Assembly: Both the 6" and 8" reels are machined from a solid round of aluminum with a 7/16" stainless steel bore sized to accept the 7/16" stainless steel driveshaft. A heavy-duty stainless steel collar — rather than a thin snap ring — handles precision clutch adjustment without risk of failure under load. Four clutch pads are machined from solid 660 bronze bar stock, capable of handling extreme pressure and heat with virtually no wear over years of use. The clutch knob is solid aluminum, not plastic, so it won't break or need seasonal replacement. A hard-anodized pressure plate completes the clutch assembly.

Line Capacity (measured using Spectra brand line): The 6" reel holds approximately 300 ft of 500 lb. line or 225 ft of 800 lb. line. The 8" High Capacity Reel holds approximately 500 ft of 500 lb. line, 400 ft of 800 lb. line, or approximately 400 ft of .080" diameter weed-wacker line — more than any other reel offered by major manufacturers.

Mounting Options: The universal mounting bracket and line guide each adjust through 12 positions. The mounting plate accepts universal mounting clamps on both the front and back faces, across 14 tapped hole locations. A quick-release mount is available for hardtop or flat-surface installation; when securing to a vessel, orient the spring-loaded plunger toward the inboard side so that planer board pressure bears against the solid aluminum dead-stop rather than the plunger.

Optional Revolving Handle: A revolving handle accessory is available from Cisco — see Cisco's revolving handle page for details.
