Cliffhanger,
Thats a good question. Last Saturday we were running Familiar Bite in a Rhys Davis Teasers Head @ 2.3 we hit a good size salmon 27 pounds so we slowed down to 1.9 to reel in and net @ 1.9 the 500 copper takes of with a similar set up, double up on salmon. Some say the bigger fish like slower speeds. However I have caught fish going a lot faster IE 3.5 down speed.
