bkidder you hit the nail on the head with the 2lb line, the whitefish are very line sensitive and it adds sport to the salmon jacks, as with any young trout or salmonjack they tend to not hit on lines heaveyer than 4lb test, what i call tow rope 10 pound and up, you will be lucky to catch a fish where i am at, maybe a big northern if your baited up for them.
as for all the flashers and the rest of the gadgets on the down rigers yes we use it all, some times they want it all flashie and some times they dont, the lake trout like it flashie, but i hardly ever get after lakers.
one of my fishing buddies is on his way out here as I right this we are getting my boat out today and start getting the ole girl ready, should be on the water in just a week or so, just waiting for ice to get out of the way, I will post some pictures when I get out, of what I catch for you, happy hunting/fishing and have a great day.
