6' leader is way too much. They will work but your going to go through a mile of line in a day as snaggy as salmon fishing is. Expect to loose 15-50 rigs a day depending on where your fishing and how long you fish. Chinook are not leader shy. I never run more than 25" of 25-30 leader with 45-65 braided main line. 2/0-3/0 barbless hooks are the norm.
