On spoons switch over to assist hooks doesn't seem to effect spoon action at all & ur hookups will be better on the Steelies . I used 2/0 or 3/0 's gold .

Losing hookups on big board releases
Tunaman1 replied to MadPerry's topic in Questions About Trout & Salmon Trolling?
If UR losing fish due to a release issue then what was mentioned can be of help . However if fish like Steelhead r lost via jumping off then u can go to single hooks on UR spoons . Even better I've found the addition of a single hook of the assist type even better . This assist hook snelled on braid & looped on UR rear split ring will lead to better hookups on the Steelies ! I use to use a 3. / 0 gold hook -

streamer flies for spring browns?
Tunaman1 replied to hookedupf7's topic in Questions About Trout & Salmon Trolling?
It should work just use a Teeny TS series with 20' head ! Jim also makes a line called chuck & Duck which has a shorter head but very fast sink ! I believe either one would work or just splice in a section of LC serve same purpose . I would use a section of new micro lead ! -
Weigh spool if heavier than standard product then it will go deeper due to weight & profile . If weighs less than it may run same depths per speed but depends on lure & speed for sure . I had some fly line shooting heads that were tungsten cored , spliced & added above leader , these provided more depth while NOT adding any weights . This material was very thin & insured a fast sink rate! U could make up various lengths & add as needed just loop on off real quick!

Best fluorocarbon line/leader material ?
Tunaman1 replied to lineman49's topic in Tackle Description
Probably 98 % of all fluoro carbons R Japanese simply because they were the first to develop fluoro carbon material for fishing applications . I worked for the first importer of the Seaguar. / Momoi products . We began selling this into the American market about 30 yrs ago. It was used by LL fisherman for years prior to being introduced to the USA market in mid eighties . these products R still the best based on their overall knowledge of this product & how to manufacture it since they have by far the most expierance in this field . Most of the best fluoro products R made by a very few overseas companies with Toray & Seaguar being UR best. Toray has by far the best fluoro fishing line , is sold thru a west coast distributor , Blackwater products . Pricey , I've used it for years LL applications practically no memory & exibits very good knot strength . -
Good I'm glad they work got U , Cleo's always got it done for me ! However I didn't dpend a lot of time on jetties , just blow days , even then bay had enough trout to satisfy charter . We jig & squid with them sil / gld best colors with tape !
-
No for Stripers in fall all 5 / 7 oz Crocks , no meed for Macketel pattern since R mackerel runs r a thing of the past in mid atlantic ! When I chartered Lk O , late 70's thru early 90's , I personally never used the crocks except to cast from Sodus Pt jetties !

In salt we always use them in squidding / jig mode ! Trolling they exibit slower wobble hence that jig motion when casting enhances strikes ! Sti one of the hottest Striper spoons for fall jigging in ocean!
