Do you have DR's?

One of the best kept secrets in the Sound... Plugs for Silvers! ... quality BM (or Kings) will definitely hit a well tuned plug!

I would not advocate the use of a flasher (or dodger) when using a plug. It will throw the correct action off considerably.

Concur with the above post- speed is crucial. When I fished commercially, it wasn't uncommon to troll spoons and plugs at 6 to 8 knots. Fire up them RPMs!

If you want adding vibration and flash in the water, add a lake troll to the ball. This is one heck of a combination that is far too often overlooked among anglers in the Puget Sound!

Match the size of your plug to the natural's....

Your drop back off the DR release should be at a minimum of 40 feet. 50-70 is even better!

If you do not have DRs, I would recommend a Metzer type sinker roughly 10 feet above the plug.

Do not tie your mainline directly to the front of the eye post. On top utilizing a River's Inlet know will add additional action..

Hang on! Hits and hook-ups at faster than normal trolling speeds are absolutely heart-stopping.
