A little heavier gear than for the 'Bows in the Gallatin . If you are banking it up north for Kings, I suggest using 40 lb. superbraid Tuf Line for main line. Lots of guys on the Kenai, and I guess the Gulkana, use the 60 lb. leader, but I find it tough to tie knots in that heavy of stiff mono. I started using 40 lb. Maxima Chameleon with few probs landing big Kings, even when hooked deep with the leader rubbing on their teeth. But maybe I've just been lucky. I like the 40/40 setup for up north. - RT
