Steelhead light tackle down chute???

[Pa223]

Crazy idea here for sure, but anyone ever try a spinning rod down chute for steelhead?   I always run a leader down the chute with good success but would love to try to go after the steelies with lighter tackle.  Assuming I could get the line deep enough with a weight of some sort, I assume it could work.   Anyone ever try it?

When I was still going out on the Lake, we would often catch 'bows right in the prop wash while setting cheaters. Same thing up in the 'daks with Atlantics.  Try just enough weight it to get the spoon to swim, and not to far back either.
