Thanks guys, i will not only replace my "front" eyes with larger eyes (makes them dive deeper) but will attach a good swivle to the butt eye and then add a respectable large king hook ( say 7/0 or 8/0) (big kings) siwash to the swivel. last trip up there I fished first run kings for a trophy, best fish I landed was approx 65 lbs, and she had long tail lice. but about 5 inches too short.......... back she went with tears in my eyes....... every year we hook and release at least a few 50+, but I am ont the quest for that elusive 70+ pounder,,,,,,,,,,,, maybe this year......... great fun, but not as many fish as tillamook on a per day basis, unless you count landing 50+ reds a day in the count.............
