Spoons = good. I've pretty much stuck with 3 spoons for all my salmon trolling (if that's what I'm doing). Either a double glow or water-melon coho killer (fish shaped). I also make sure that at LEAST one person is running a 4" cop car behind a 24" leader (25lb) and an 8" flasher. The key is the small flasher. It doesn't matter if your fishing for BM, pinks, coho or fall kings make sure you have the small flasher and cop car. We fished 4-5 days a week in the north sound when it's opened and the fish checker said we were the most consistent boat he's seen. The 4" cop car is also nice because it catches everything and is big enough to keep the small shakers off.
