[quote wiperhunter2]Well thats some good info and it makes sense, thanks for sharing that with us. So, do you think the shorter leader would work if they were not spawning? So it sounds like these are not land locked sockeye. We use leaders as short as 6 to 8 inches to get the most amount of action from the dodger.[/quote]
No these are not land locked sockeye, they are Columbia river Sockeye, came up from the ocean. I think when they are out on the salt water prior to starting the spawn you can go with a shorter leader. The Kokanee or otherwise land locked sockeye sure do like the short leader. Check out this big kokanee chasing down and hitting a hoochie on a shorter leader. This is also an 8 inch Dodger. What size do you use?
