Weighted steel line

[Steeleman]

Weighted steel line

     I attended a fishing seminar at the Niagara Fishing Expo given by Mathew  Swaire on salmon fishing using 25' mono leader, 200' of weighted steel line and 900' 19 strand braided steel line as backing. A spin-and-glow is placed on the leader and can be adjusted by using a toothpick.  The lure of choice is a spoon.  I had never heard of this method and was greatly intrigued.  Do any of you use this method?  Can you tell me more about it?
