  1. Do a search there are lots of posts about this. What rods, what reels snubber or no snubber , which wire. The advice above will get you started. More than half of all our salmon come off the wire dipsies. Won't leave home with out them Your first wire king will make a beleiver out of you.
  2. If your the orginal poster than down by where it says "Quote" there will be a button that says edit.
  3. Haven't used the al's , but the old Tri-Flash works good . Lakers on the center clip with sm. flatfish . Spoons or flies on the outside clip for the salmon.
  4. Might be where they move that little bit on the bases with the wave action. With the tension of the weight and the6' booms thats a lot of leverage on the bases.
  5. ya missed me Thats a heck of a trolling bag!!
  6. Bad swivels on the flasher end. You will have trouble esp. if they hit bottom and get grit in the swivel.
  7. I have had a fish come off and got the rig back only to find the fly leader jammed in the crotch of the treble. After that we checked a "bite off" leader that was on the dash and the end of the leader had a curve to it that fit the wire size of the hook. I don't know how they manage to do it, but they do! If you put the treble in a piece of wood and pull a piece of 50# leader into the crotch of the hook , it cuts it quite nicely. We take a small piece of line and tie it to one of the hook bends and weave it in and out to fill the crotch of the hook . Then tie it off to the hook bend again. Haven't had a "bite off " in many years. This happens with the cutbait heads too. It would be nice to see a vidio showing how they manage to hit the fly and tangle the line up.
  8. Tall Tales wrote "I am off to British Columbia to the Campbell River for some salmon fishing." Brian ,Good Luck in BC!!!!

  16. Thought they wouldn't winter with the water temps so low.
  17. A friend has one thats a rubber coated mesh like a livewell net that works well. I have a rubber net thats like jeeper says "HEAVY" And it is hard to net fish with, because it moves so much water when you try to scoop up the fish.
  18. Penn has ones that have a loop for a teather. PENN REEL ROD CLAMP KIT 33-113 E-Bay They fit the 47ic's fine
