Mini,

Spoons are very effective for returning Kings. I generally turn to the larger 4 - 6 inch spoons like, Fishlander, Northport Nailers or a Diamond.

Light starts to filter out as soon as it hits the water and by 30 feet it is fairly dark. At 50 feet, it is pretty close to pitch dark. So it is always best to use glow in the dark colors or colors at present a dark silhouette (black, white, purple, green, blue). Salmon can't see much more than a few (2-3) feet in the depth and it get worse the deeper they go. Plenty of scent is always a plus. The chrome spoon Easy has been doing good on is getting its sparkle from the flasher....

Remember.... Sight, smell, sound.... If you are solely relying one of these triggers, you'll be pressed to catch fish. Two triggers, you'll catch fish frequently. If you have all three of these working for you, you're gunna a lot of fish.
