Same for me...

I prefer 2 dipseys and 1 rigger.

It depends 

 

Last few trips temp was deep at 100 so flasher on my probe rigger and 2 spoons  stacked on the other rigger or 1 flasher each rigger  

 

If the temps 75 ft to 50 ft ,  1 line  on each rigger and #5 Chinook diver . .

 

40 to 60ft temp  1 spoon each rigger , And slide diver 

 

Staging kings 1 j plug each rigger . 

 

I prefer just riggers if possible . Better maneuvering and easier  all around . 

And easier to net fish

I clear rods while the fish is running. 
Have had doubles more than once, let the bigger fish run.

When I'm fishing Stagers , I run 2 j plugs . If a rod fires I know it's a king ,  I grab the other one , pop it , and reel it in as fast as I can while I put the boat in nutural or turn it down wind and put it in nutural. I can boat the fish in 5 min that way . Sometimes I chase them down . I have gotten a few doubles as both rods went off within seconds of each other . Not real fun . 1 at a time please . 

 

I go out at first light . My personal best is 8 kings boated by 830 or so . Landed 6 or 7 many times . And got skunked more than once.

2 downriggers, one copper down the chute. If the water is calm and the winds are light I might run the copper on a planer board.

Up to 60 FOW, chute rigger and two braid slide divers. Any deeper, I switch the braid slide divers to wire slide divers. I do this for browns and kings.

Or whatever you catch fish successfully, I’ve tried 2 riggers , because it’s easier Solo, but I catch more Salmon my way….
