So I have some plugs that have been kicking around the box for awhile without getting much use. I know some guys use them so I am hoping for some advice.

How do you effectively use plugs for salmon trolling? I am looking for leader lengths, mono strengths, flasher/dodger combinations that work, maybe advice on which sizes are the best?

I have been told they are mostly for deep downrigger trolling, is this true? I have some smaller ones that I thought might work for silvers?

Thanks in advance for the advice.
