Had a few guys ask me how I rig those sockeye leaders pictured on the boards. Thought I'd post a photo of a couple rigged boards.
1/0 hooks on 25lb test, 2 to 4 beads and a smile blade. I typically run about 12 to 14" leaders to a size 1 or size 0 herring dodger.
You can rig a variation of any of the above...run spin and glos instead of smile blades, 2.0 colorado blades on a clevis, etc....I like to run 2 beads and a wedding ring.
You can run a kokanee dodger, sling blade, herring dodger, 360 flasher, whatever you want...money maker shaker wings are great as well.
All of my rods are rigged with a sliding weight on main line to a duo snap or swivel. Then I run a 24" bumper made with 150lb line, then my dodger and spinner.
Have fun with it, make weird color combinations, you never know what works until you send it...
