Considering the speed that my little boat trolls at (1.5 MPH) I put everything 20-24" back from the dodger or flasher. This really works good for kings, silvers, and sockeye. I have found the closer to the dodger/flasher the better. There is just something about a rubber hoochie or bare hooks gettin' the crap whipped out of them by a dodger/flasher that just turns the fish on.

I know this is not a normal rigging technique. Consider it cutting edge.
