i dont think i would try unless i was bored, like maybe neah bay when your getting so many coho you start cut plugging hot dogs and stuff just to see if it will work \:D

i have used them before trolling chin weighted ballyhoo and split tail mullets for billfish but the hook rides on top of the head. even still i dont think that most would use them if it wasnt the rules for billfish cuz they do miss alot of strikes where you would of had the fish for sure if it was a siwash. seems like it would be about the same for salmon, however, salmon trolling is way slower and maybe they would work better at the slower speed with more chomping of the bait, or for mooching.

maybe a test is needed at sekiu or neah this summer
