The hands-down BEST lure for pink salmon, IMO... is a 1/4 oz. pink or white jig head with a 2" curly-tail pink rubber grub on it. Use your light spinning tackle and cast this out to the school. Let it sink for a couple of counts, then start SLOWLY twitch-retrieving it back to you. Don't lift or drop your rod more that a foot and you'll be catching more pinks that you'll know what to do with.
