chinook drivers cut the water and you don't know they are on when fighting a fish. they come in 5 sizes, I have used all sizes depending on how depth you want to go and how much water is under you. all I use now. never had a problem cutting line.

Use one of these to see the difference, they are so much better to fight a fish or to just reel in. make in Rochester NY.
been using for two years didn't have any problems.
Most boards are hard to see. Some are small and the color is hard to see. We have flags on ours. some people think they own the lake so I try to give them room.
I have been using the last to years, best on the market. when you have fish on you don't even know you have a dipsey on. this is all I use. great dipsey.made in USA.

I went to see field & stream yesterday they have very little salmon gear I asked the manager it was like he didn't care.
I use to go to bass pro they are getting the same way don't care. forget grander mountain & dicks for salmon gear
, go to the mom & pops they have local knowledge.I do like the salmon classes bass pro has in the spring.
check out Chinook drivers on craig list they work great .went you fight fish you don't know they are on,.you can pick up in Rochester ny
I used them last year they are make out of stainless steel.go thur the water great.

they trip like most drivers they have a arm that you can adjust with a screw, the picture does not show it to good. you can pickup in rochester,just go on ebay and email for address & how to pay.
