normally 56 inches to 60 inches for me.....anywhere from 1.4 mph to 3 mph.
There are some here who fish way shorter tho'.........seen 27 inches and even 21 inches at times.....
Short doesn't work for me........but hey,whatever works is what works.....
Try a short leader on one side and a long leader on the other side..see what happens.....

First time on the forum. So go easy on me lol....
I was out Wednesday and managed 7 fish on the old Grand Slam Bucktails. Only 1 little coho on a lure. Catch ratio was low as I had a newbie learning how to use a mooching reel....Finally landed a few. Some bruised knuckles, and good memories.
We kept the bucktail on one side and I tried everything else on the other. I finally, reluctantly, switched over to a Grand Slam, 10 minutes later, another spring.
Just thought I would share this. Sorry no brag photos....<")))><

I clicked on the site...but it shows photos only....
Is that guy still making those?
They used to sell them on ECVI years back (Campbell River).....and then I couldn't find them any more..I thought he went out of business.......
he also used to make a pretty good jigging lure as well....
I never used my Riptide needle much at the time because we were in the "pre-needlefish" era.......

I suppose I'll have to give my TKO KS another go... Everyone spoke of good things about those spoons, they haven't done jack all for me vs the Gold Standard Irish C!
I don't think they glow either, do they? Always a bit weary of putting one down that isn't glow unless it's a clear day with clear water...

They have the best glow I've ever seen. Woke up one morning with one of them in the room still glowing. WOW
