I have also found the Grand Slam Bucktail to be the most effective lure for trolling. I outfished my buddy last summer in the sound with my "flys" (that's what I call then so as to not fully disclose what I am using) wile he was messing around with different spoons, plastic hochies, and herring. They imitate a diverse range of salmon food and hold up well to abuse. If you don’t already know about them and don’t have any in your salmon arsenal you should. http://www.grandslambucktails.com/
