FJ,

No I never did try it. Seemed like everytime I would go to that spot there were people there. I just used 8-10lb leader with some lead when I used eggs. Seemed to work pretty good. Most of the silvers I caught were on spinners. I love using spinners. You don't have anything to mess with. Just tie on a swivel and put on a spinner. The #4 green body/black blade Vibrax really got to the silvers this year . Do you think steelhead would sit in that hole you were fishing? I might try that tactic on them.
