A planar board having ease of retrieval includes a base, a first fishing line release extending outward from substantially a front of the base, a second fishing line release extending outward from substantially a middle of the base, and a line retainer. A fishing line is retained by inserting thereof under the first fishing line release, inserting the fishing line release into a second fishing line release with preferably a peg, the fishing line is then inserted into a line retainer disposed at substantially the end of the base. A planar board with ease of retrieval allows a user to retrieve a planar board without tangling it with other planar boards being fished adjacent it. A planar board with ease of retrieval and strike indicator allows a user to easily retrieve the planar board and have notice of a fish strike.
A fishing diver is provided by a diving plane with a first releasable tripping device having a latched condition clamping the diving plane to the line such that upon trolling, the diver dives downwardly at an angle to the trolling line, and having a released condition unclamping the diving plane from the line. The diver includes a second tripping device associated with and engageable with the releasable first tripping device. The second tripping device has a latched condition engageable with the fishing line, and a released condition responsive to the strike of the fish on the lure for causing the first tripping device to reach its released condition and provides free sliding passage of the line through a guide structure on the diving plane.
