Hi Sockeye Slayer - A few questions from the peanut gallery.
1) Are you using rubber snubbers? If so, are they postioned above or below the sling blade/dodger?
2) What pound test line are you running between your sling blade/dodger & lure?
I was up at the pipeline over the weekend and I lost a lot of larger kokes due to break off with 8 pound test and no snubber. I ended up loosing too many lures so I re-grouped and put on rubber snubber and purchased some 10# Vanish.
The main reason for the snubber question is I noticed other anglers had on very large snubbers - 10" to 12" above their sling blades and I was using the smaller 4" snubbers below mine.
Again thanks for the reports and hope to see you on the water...
