6 Basic Tips to Improve Your Anchovy Rigs for Chinook Salmon Fishing using Rhys-Davis Teaser Heads

Your camera quality is amazing, thanks for the instructive vid.

Thank you! Still, always shopping for camera upgrades I can’t afford. Just like fishing gear... Tight lines.

Great video. Like the tip re wetting the toothpick. Not sure I agree with using mono instead of fluorocarbon for leader. While mono has more stretch I think there is plenty of stretch available in the main part of the line, and the lack of stretch in 6 feet of fluorocarbon has minimal impact. Fluorocarbon won't tangle anywhere near as easily as mono. Also, I think the stiffness of the line affects the roll of the anchovy - provides more of a whip in the water, giving a better roll. FWIW I use 30 lb test, although I know a lot of guides use 40 lb. I usually use Seaguar STS, which is 1/4 of the price of Seaguar Blue Label and seems to work just as well.

Great video...Where can I buy the blue foam to store them 👍

Thanks! If you live near Vancouver, Berry’s Baits or Pacific Net & Twine should have them. They’re pretty cheap. If not, I’m sure Amazon probably has something similar. Alternatively, a lot of guides will just buy 2” pvc piping and foam pipe insulation from Home Depot. More bulky but no creases in your leaders. Tight lines!

I think they’re just called leader boards.

You can also use a basic foam swimming noodle - costs about $3 from Canadian Tire or Home Hardware. Cut it into 6 - 8 inch lengths and you will have more than enough to store your rigs safely.
