was reading thru a sts mag awhile ago, and the author was using a pinkk worms for the big kings in a certain river up there, so ya id say it works for salmon.. and i personally have found out that everything will take the pink worm, ive caught src's, dolly's, steelies, smolts, trout on them..i usually put the hook like 1/2 inch or less above the tail, becuz the smaller trout will rip the tails off...and also, put either a bead or a sequin above the hook, so it dont tear the worm thru so easily..add procure shrimp oil for steelies also..my fav choice for a lure....
