Mix up the color combos and depths until you catch fish. Leaders for spinners averave about 4 times the length of the dodger while squid leaders should be 2 to 2 1/2 times the length of the dodger and a heavier/stiffer leader material.

I find depth more important than lure. Use a lead core trolling line or down riggers.
