Post by: Stein on March 28, 2019, 02:51:16 PM: I've been thinking about picking up a pair of those. I can't see spending big bucks on a koke rod and using regular rods I think I miss a bunch of bites.

Post by: Kc_Kracker on March 28, 2019, 03:54:17 PM: they are very soft mouth and tear out easy, and they are salmon so they are poor catchers, always run the 2nd rear trailing hook about 1-1.5" behind the lure, sharp hooks and not too big, those suggestions should make a big difference :tup:

Post by: WSU on March 28, 2019, 06:22:04 PM: I’ll keep an eye out. I’ve been using light spinning rods to get something light enough. I just can’t even get close to justifying a high end expensive rod for tiny fish and downrigger.
