B.R. We run ours on 80 Shaminos with braid. With all that I say here, do not slow the boat down. With the clicker on, throw it into full free spool for 3 sec. or so and then back into full drag and the planer, if an "Old Salty", it will trip. With the Penn Down riggers, I get a pair of gloves, hold the big spool and loosen the drag, let the spool go and suddenly stop it, it should trip. When running planers on straight line heavy Mono, cleated to the boat, lift the mono over your head and let go, when it slaps the transom it should tip.
Hope what I wrote here makes since to you all...
