Here's something fresh to try.

Forget the double red gami setup. I refuse to bow down and only fish the typical setup so I tried a single barbless 1/0 gami and threaded a 2" pink curly tail grub up the shaft and fished it behind a small 4" les davis flasher with a 20# 20" leader at 70ft and 20ft from the DR ball. Believe it or not we got 13 to the boat, without a net(forgot it at home). They were so cooperative, they even held still for pictures before going on their way. I also added a snubber above the flasher. I did not lose one fish. Of the 8 fish that popped me off I landed all 8. My friend hooked and lost 15 or more on a modified double hook setup. So he trimmed of the bottom hook and pinched the barb and within 45 minutes he had 5 to the boat. I think the one small hook really made a big difference by not tearing up their mouths. Try it out, those grubs kick azz. But this is my first year out for sockeye, so what do i know.
