Roger
Walsh's friends with
their 58 and 33 lb
Kings taken at Elfin
Cove, AK. July,
2003. They used our
6" Magnum
Blue/White-Glow
bucktail 36" of
leader and a large
chrome Abe and Al
Flasher. This
is the biggest
Salmon taken on our
bucktails so
far.....
If you troll with rubber
squids or hoochies you should give GSBs a try. Why? Because our Salmon
lures
usually outfish them 2 to 1 or better. Salmon
actually bite hoochies thinking
they are baitfish. We've cleaned hundreds of salmon (over 20 yrs). Checked their stomach contents, and only found 2 single
squid! 99% of the time they're full of baitfish.
Our
bucktails look just like real baitfish, so you catch more fish with them!
Here are some important tips to remember:
-
We recommend you try our lures.
They simply are the finest made, and one of the most effective lures you can
use!!
-
Use the leader lengths we recommend. (with
flashers and dodgers) We've established these lengths by literally
thousands of hours of on the water testing and customer feedback.
-
Use 30 to 50 lb leader with a flasher or
dodger. We know this seems heavy, but it makes our bucktails work
even better.If you want
less visibility use fluorocarbon leader.
-
Troll at the speed we
suggest.
Rigging for Salmon Trolling and Large Trout: Use a standard salmon
mooching leader, ie:30 to 50 lb test, two 3/0 to 5/0 hooks (Mustad 92553s
or similar style) tied 1" apart. Thread fly on leader and slide down
over hooks. Tie the other end of leader to the tail end of flasher or dodger using
specified leader length; Measure from tail end of flasher or dodger to
the nose of bucktail. Best leader length is in bold.
With 11"Plastic Flasher (Hotspot or similar brand)
|
27-30" for Coho, Pinks (troll @ 2-2.5 mph) |
|
32-33" for Coho (troll @ 3-3.5
mph) if you prefer to troll @ faster speed. |
|
29-31" for Blackmouth or Springs
(troll @ 2-2.5 mph) |
|
36-39" for Adult Kings (troll @ 2-2.5
mph) 50 lb. test is best here! |
|
27-30" for Chums (troll slow @ 1.8-2.0
mph) |
With Dodger (size 0)
|
14-18" for Coho, Chum, Pinks, Blackmouth, and Big
Trout (troll @1.5-2.0 mph) |
|
21-23" for Adult Kings (troll @ 1.5-2.0
mph) |
With Dodger (size 00)
|
10-14" for Coho and Big Trout
(troll @1.5 mph) note: use 10-15 lb leader with this smaller
dodger and 2/0 hooks. |
For downrigger trolling run setups 15 ft behind
weight. For flatline trolling use crescent sinker (2-8oz.) 3 ft ahead of flasher
or dodger. Another tip: Add a twinkle skirt to our lures. Just
slide onto the leader before our lures. Good colors are: silver, green,
purple, and red. Sometimes our lures work even better with this addition,
sometimes not. Experiment a little!
Additional Tips:
|
Troll with the current flow. (we catch 80% of our fish going
w/the flow, only 20% going against it. |
|
Best fishing is 1 hr before tide change to 2 hrs after. Also
dusk and dawn. |
|
Add a small strip of baitfish to your hooks,
fillet a herring,
anchovy, or other baitfish. Cut into long triangular strips1/4"wide by
3"long, then roll in un-iodized salt. Hook strip once through the wide
end so it is hidden in the fibers of fly. We get
15
baits out of one 6" herring. The scent will increase your catch. |
|
If you use bait oils/scents put them on your flasher, they
gum up our flies. We use 10 drops on the tail end of our flasher. Re-apply
every 20 min. |
|
fish tide rips for Coho (troll rigs @ 20-60 ft deep
even if bottom is 400 ft deep) This is their usual cruising/ feeding depth. |
|
Fish shorelines, edges of kelp beds, points, and drop offs
when King Salmon Fishing. Most of the time they hug the bottom, so troll w/a
downrigger just off the bottom. The only exception to this is the adult
summer/fall kings, which are often caught suspended off bottom @
40-80 ft
deep. |

 "Here's
a picture of my
46lb-9oz King
Salmon taken in
Wrangell, Alaska
(June, 2000). I
can tell you with
all honesty that
your fly was
responsible for my
wonderful fish
being caught. I
fished two weeks
using your 4"
Blue Herring
fly/with a hotspot
flasher, and it out fished all other lures.
When I left, my
host (a lodge
owner) asked that
I leave some of
your flies behind.
Thank you, Michael
Brazeau."
(Michael also told
us that he caught
a total of 19
kings ranging from
18 to 46 lbs. on
our lures).
 "Grand
Slam Bucktails are
great!! My
friend Leo Kingrey
caught this
47lb-2oz King
Salmon (on
8-29-00) using
your 4" Blue
Herring and a
green Hotspot
flasher. We have
also caught 6
other kings over
20 lbs. each over
the last 6 weeks
with the your
lures, as well as
some smaller ones.
What amazes us
both is that yours
is the only lure
we have ever used
that catches all
types of
fish...Needless to
say, it's now the only lure we use on our boat. Thank
you ...Dan
Koesterman."
