Off Shore OR12L Left-Side Ballasted Planer 9½" Yellow — Stable Tracking, Flag & Hardware Kit

The Off Shore OR12L left-side planer is a 9½" yellow, ballasted fishing planer with an attached flag and full hardware kit designed to run steadily off your rod line in rough freshwater conditions.

Built for anglers who troll for walleye and other freshwater species, the OR12L delivers controlled side deployment and dependable ballast to keep your bait at the desired spread. Every unit ships with the parts needed to attach and operate the planer: a visible flag for strike indication, release hardware, mounting screws and fasteners, a split ring, and clear instructions. Manufactured in the United States, this planer prioritizes stability and easy setup so you can spend more time fishing and less time adjusting gear.

How does the OR12L maintain a steady run in rough water?

The OR12L includes internal ballast and a hull shape tuned to resist rolling and porpoising when trolled at speed. That ballast shifts the center of gravity to keep the planer aligned offshore, even in chop.

• Engineered ballast for consistent trim and stability
• 9½" profile provides predictable water contact and tracking
• Left-side deployment designed to place bait off the port side reliably

What hardware and accessories are included in the package?

This kit arrives ready to mount: the planer has a fixed, visible flag and a complete assortment of mounting and release components so you won’t need extra parts. Instructions are included to guide quick setup.

• One stationary flag for easy bite detection
• Two OR19-style releases for hooking your line to the planer
• Two 6/32 screws, two nylon nuts, and one split ring for secure attachment

Which species and fishing situations suit this planer best?

The OR12L is tailored to freshwater trolling—especially for walleye—where precise sideways spread and stable presentation are important. It handles variable lake conditions and is effective when you need to keep lures away from the boat’s slipstream.

• Ideal for walleye and most freshwater game fish
• Works well in choppy lakes and rivers where stability matters
• Designed for trolling lines off the left/port side of the boat

Who is this for: The Off Shore OR12L planner is aimed at freshwater anglers who troll for walleye and other species and who need a rugged, easy-to-set-up planer that tracks reliably in rough water. It’s a solid choice for weekend anglers, tournament competitors, and guides who value dependable spread control, visible strike indication, and a U.S.-made product that includes all mounting hardware and instructions for quick use.
