Stacker or cheater

[Firechief48]

I have always run free sliders but only when the fish are deep. If i'm down 70' plus lets say, I'll run the free slider which I figure is running roughly halfway down or 35' plus.When the salmon are in temp the sliders are usually too high for them but will pickup steelhead. If I'm fishing in close, under 70' I won't run them because of worries of tangles and the increased possibility of a dual hook up with salmon now being out of temp and all over. Evil Eyes are usually what I run because they're light and leader length 6-8'.

Find a thread in the classifieds for duo lock fixed cheaters from Greg (Troubles).  They are inexpensive and work great.  Greg is also a pleasure to deal with.

 

Caught bunches of fish this year on these fixed cheaters.
