Thanks kidder,
by the way I'm the guy who posted about the Zimmer jigs....
Anyway, I hate using flatfish!!! You have to troll so damn slow, and on the body of water I fish it is often windy and that makes staying on course a bear.
I have fished for salmon my whole life(use to live in western washington) and I used dodgers and kelp cutters with squid and flys and I just hate all that hardware hanging out there when your fighting a fish, so I have moved to lures that don't need a dodgers. I have however used Dodge statically attached to the cannon balls on my downriggers and attach the line release about 3'-5' above and this seems to work well and I don't fight hardware...
thanks again for the lure advice...
