DEAFisherman,

Getting back to answer your original question. The deeper i fish, the shorter the distance beween 'rigger release and flasher/dodger.
< 60 =30ft back
to 90=20ft back
> 90 =10ft back

This is just rule of thumb depending on where I'm fishing. Long lenghts do not fit well in crowded areas. Weather and water conditions will sometimes allow for shorter distances as well.(Like glacial silt at the mouth of the Puyalup R. 15ft back works well there.)
