Side Planer use from shore

[OldTimer]

Hey,

Has anyone here tried using a Luhr Jensen side planer on a river?

   

I’ve used much larger planers in the past on Lake Ontario in the early spring - trolling for small salmon, but never seen them used in a river………. I thought perhaps it might be worth a try on the Grand River later this year for steelhead or salmon.

My biggest question is - how far out this device will go when used in shore fishing? …….. anyone know?

I was thinking that it might be a fun thing to try. They go for about 12 bucks.

Cheers,
