I like to run Tomic spoons with longer leaders: 48 to 72 inches, especially when using bigger spoon sizes. Use a heavier leader, 40- to 80-pound test, to give the spoon a real snap behind the flasher. Don't give salmon too much time to inspect your offering, troll big spoons at higher speeds:3.5 up to 4.5 mph. If you have lots of uncrowded water (like on the WCVI), run your flasher and spoon a good 75 to 100 feet behind the downrigger clip, but separate the depths between the port and starboard by 25 feet.
