First off hello all,

Most of my questions are goint to be about length of the spreads and so forth.

1. I hear lots of different versions of fishing without a snubber and with one, I hear only snubbers for kings and cohos. Everything else no snubber.

2. Can you Use the green trident line in front of the flasher for all the different salmon species, or should it be mono for all of them? I have heard

that you just use the trident line for the chums, so would trident line work for the other salmon as well?

3. How long should the lines in front of the flashers be for the different species of salmon

4. Also how long should the lines behind the flasher be for the different species of salmon

My highline hand troll friend just took my advice (a rare occur for anything or anyone) and bought a power permit and two single spool power gurdies. Repeatedly cranking line loads of coho from 37 fathoms finally turned him.

I just started HT and recommend you do what I did:

-search and scour a lot of posts here

-buy some gear based on what you read here, and go try it
