Great Lakes Planers Charter Captain Deluxe Rocket Launcher - GLP 001

Charter Captain Deluxe planer and rod holder system is our most popular product.  It combines the big board planer system with a rocket launcher stack and vertical stack (bird tree) rod holders allowing the angler to vertically and horizontally stack and separate the rods being fished off the boards.  The net holders allow for "out of the way storage " of the nets while providing quick and easy access when needed to land the fish.  The net holders may also be used as a 4th vertical rod holder on the masts.  The net holders and vertical rod holders rotate 360 degrees around the masts and adjust vertically for ideal rod positioning.  The rocket launcher tubes are individually adjustable or they can be adjusted as a whole stack for the perfect angle.  As with all of our arch type systems the Charter Captain deluxe was designed for boats with biminis or canvas cabin tops but the hardtop owner will also find advantages over other hardtop rocket launcher systems. The horizontal bar may be positioned at any height on the masts for cabin top clearance and easy access to rods. For customers that want to position the pulleys above or below the 90 degree brackets, a separate pulley bracket is available.  The Charter Captain Deluxe comes with two 6' masts, and 8' horizontal support bar, 6 rocket launcher tubes, 90 degree brackets, 2 net holders, 6 vertical rod holders, Aluminum pulleys, bases, backer plates and rugged all-aluminum planer reels, pre-spooled with 150' of 200 lb dacron tow line.  In most cases a 107" horizontal bar is long enough to outfit boats with a 10' beam width.  Special Freight charges apply when ordering horizontal bars over 107".  All of our systems are shown with a 6' horizontal support bar.  Brackets are now included with our arches.  We do not recommend mounting the arches without these brackets.  Also a solid mounting surface is necessary to prevent movement and racking which can cause stress at the mounting surface.  The brackets on all of our arches are designed to attach anywhere on the upper half of each mast and can run to the gunwales forward of the masts or to the side of the cabin.  These brackets will adjust vertically or horizontally to allow for any mounting angle or cabin slope.  The cabin or gunwale bracket comes with a quick disconnect pin so the modularity of the system is still maintained.  For quickly removing the entire system the bases are loosened and the quick disconnect pins are removed. Our standard bracket lengths are is 5'. Lights not included.
