Basic SALMON Fishing Trolling Rig | EASY To Setup & Catches FISH!

[@JustPlainAdventures]

Y’all should come down to lake Wenatchee!! Great salmon fishing in August. It’s about 2.5 hours from Seattle and .5 hours from Leavenworth Washington.

[@archmasterone]

Aw heck, I've been setting my rigs up all wrong for years. So glad I stumbled onto this great explanation. Thank you for the well done step by step. Made simple enough even us Idahoans can follow along. (a little sarcasm)

[@rthurman9065]

I used your basic setup for 25 years until a Tillamook guide showed me what he called the universal salmon rig. Basically, the same setup, swivel for a weight slider on the braid mainline but forgo all the beads and use a piece of rubber vacuum hose about 3 or 4 inches long instead then tie in your bead chain swivel that goes to your bumper. On his recommendation, I started using welded ring ball bearing swivels in place of the 6 bead chain. They don't plug with the fine weeds as bad. How it works is the rubber vacuum hose grips and holds the ball bearing swivel eye. The dropper slider presses against the other end of the hose forcing the ball bearing swivel to work. There is zero line twist even using 360 flashers. Eliminates the need the three-way line dividers or filing notches into the plastic sliders. Your local auto parts store has spools of vacuum hose. The stuff I use came from NAPA and has roughly a 1/8 inch inside diameter and a 5/16 inch outside diameter. Three or four feet of it and you will be set a long time.

Take a picture of that setup and share?

[@oliviertonnerre6507]

Awesome video thank you! What size: beads / sliders / 6 beads chain / ball bearing swivel / dual snap are you using for salmon fishing? Cheers!

[@justen7994]

Been there a million times as a kid, fishing with my grandfather and mom. Sturgeon fishing used to be amazing a few miles up the river too in the late 80s early 90s.

[@varmint223]

Pink and yellow flasher is killer

[@johannatweer1957]

KISS....keep it sure simple. Super effective rig that works for suspended salmon in the Great Lakes. Thakx a zillion and don't stop.

[@harolddallas2959]

Loaded up and on my way gentlemen! Im stoked, fish on and tight lines to all!

[@clarkriccobuono3903]

Hi Nick, great video. How many lb test on your leader?

[@FrontCountryHunter]

Thanks for breaking it all down. I continue to learn through your videos.

[@codywaligursky8873]

Fishing Lake Michigan in the past we've killed it on glow in the dark orange spoons and glow flies from 4am - 7am. Steelhead on purple/copper spoons, or watermelon on high lines. Planers or just dragging.

[@mnmike6884]

Where was the discussion on your weights?

[@teograham-cook]

I am just getting into salmon and love these videos just wondering which knots you use?

[@michaeljones8771]

Great break down . Short bus flashers for life. See You out there. Bonk 'em all...

[@hotzone360]

how many oz weight do you use

[@chensteven4936]

Awesome video! Cheers! I wish I could've found and watched this video earlier! Just curious, what pound line do you use to tie your droppers?

[@herbdollar6153]

Thanks for the video what size weight are you using

[@jaywebguy]

Would this be a good setup for the confluence in Lewiston/Clark for salmon also? Any ideas?

[@donnm2968]

Barbed!!!👍🏻🎣

[@diegogalvez8589]

Will this work for coho aswell as chinook?

[@joshuastokes8457]

lake CDA in idaho we use similar setups.. minus the slider because we are just using downriggers - but we use helmets on our bait.. and 1/0 hooks

[@Willsimp4tacos]

I use heavy weedeater line, is that not the move?

[@markpetricevic3368]

Usually for salmon on the small greatlakes tributaries salted shiners work. Also i like to run larval baits on a tiny maribou lead head jig

[@Dr.Ratio69]

I come back for more vids, and I like these! 👍

[@loveniacannon3302]

Exactly what I wanted 20 5 oz weights for snagging

[@aaroncoltrin1501]

What rod would you reccomend if i cant find this one. It looks like an awesome rod. I want one

[@davedunham399]

I notice you run weights and not downriggers. I am new to salmon fishing...years of kokanee with downriggers. Even when I am fishing shallow waters 30' up I still use my riggers so I know I have my lines at exact depths. For example I may want lines at 10' - 15' - 20 and 25'. how can you get that accuracy with weights only

[@604roger]

Where and what size weight do you use on the rig

[@niwy1838]

FINS in Clatskanie, OR is a Great location between Longview, WA and Astoria, OR for Custom Tackle, Gear, Bait, and the Coffee to go with Bacon. Great owners and fair prices on most products for being a small town shop. There's quite a few Gas stations that also sell bait down HWY30 due to the volume of baot ramps, water access, and local fishing demand.

[@kevinkeener2023]

1st time'er rigged a 9' stiff Shakespeare pole with a spinning reel. Used the set-up here only used 50lb line with a 150lb bumper and 25lb. leader about 48"long. But stuck to the "crazy Crabby" spinner and anchovy set-up. Fished three days mostly from the bridge to up around Cliff Pt. Got razzed for being obstinate. Everybody else was using blades and at least 50lb leaders. RESULTS: got first bite, lost at the net; Captain got first fish (hatchery around 27"), I landed a slightly shorter one a few minutes later. Next day a nice 30" hatchery buck , day three rainy and foggy. skunked. Blessed with two nice fish for following your set-up. It does murder chinooks.🐟🐟 for 🐟🐟🐟

[@ponchoguy5729]

Can you use this exact same rod but extra heavy action?

[@eddyaruda486]

Another awesome video! Keep it up!

[@dciron51]

Question, is this the set-up that I want to use trolling for Coho and Pinks here in the Puget Sound (Areas 11 and 13 mostly). Thank you guys for turning out such great info.

[@NghiaPham-xi5so]

How many pounds are your leader line?

[@callypeterson6807]

Would this setup work for lake trolling with downriggers, minus the sliding swivel and weight?

[@ultimatewarrior1970]

I love this channel,you guys are ultimate fisherman! Sending love to all fisherman of the world. Good luck,fisherman.

[@tlpoutdoorsman]

Great video might want to mention the size of short bus😊🎣

[@cirwin4099]

what weight and troll speed?

[@eugenelising176]

Does the 360 flasher will work too on bouy 10? I am a new on this kind of fishing Salmon on the boat. “NewFisherman”. Thanks

[@AddictedFishing]

Eugene Lising Ya it can work really well!

[@castblast2629]

do you guys recommend the 8" or the 10" inline spinners and does it matter? ill be fishing upriver below the McNary dam by Umatilla.

[@jonessportfishing]

Cast & Blast up there in the fall you are going to want to use a 360 style like a pro troll

[@604roger]

What weight size is leader?

[@ben3989]

please show use how your rigging fresh anchovies!

[@billwalker4836]

Great instructional...those fish are only endangered due to the commercial fishing and seals... I've always felt that they shouldn't be sold in the grocery stores if you want to eat fish...you should have to catch fish...course that would put a lot of idiots on the water... can't win for loosing.

[@steveashe5975]

Whats the model of Oakleys your wearing man? Cant figure it out.

[@AddictedFishing]

steve ashe My favorite of all time!! Crankcase in Rootbeer I think is what they are. I buy them from eBay because I can’t find them anywhere else. This is my third pair in like 5 years.

[@andershandmadecrafts9437]

What pound line was connected to the hooks?

[@AddictedFishing]

Anders Handmade Crafts 40 lb. fluro

[@badfishingbissanschlagdril3637]

Nice nice nice 👍🏼🎣👍🏼

[@Dr.Ratio69]

Nailed it!

[@dillonhord2685]

Hey marlin I’m gonna go throw spoons for Steelies would you suggest some of that new power pro super slick for my leader

[@AddictedFishing]

Dillon Hord I like 30 lb hi vis Pline xtcb braid 8.

[@FishingPhoFun]

How much weight are you running on those droppers?

[@AddictedFishing]

Depends on the current and depths your fishing.

[@chrisgassin7822]

30lb or 40lb on the leader?

[@AddictedFishing]

Chris Gassin I like 40 lb.

[@ronmacdougall9612]

Good video

[@TiredAmerican247]

Is okuma gonna make 12’ selects?

[@AddictedFishing]

jjbrown16 Guide select classics already has a 12 footer.

[@rollinstoned5472]

Do more information on how fucked up dams are and how we need help from our hatcherys!!!

[@woodrowallen]

How much weight?

[@AddictedFishing]

Depending on depths, current, tides, etc. 6-20 oz is commonly used

[@woodrowallen]

@@AddictedFishing thanks

[@pelewads]

What is the purpose of the six bead chain?

[@Bocker67]

it's better than the five bead chain

[@sk-mz8wr]

Line twist

[@AddictedFishing]

Keeping gear from tangling and preventing line twists.

[@ricklatimer7259]

Murdered out look is flat black buddy

[@JasonEganApiary]

Spider at 8:22? The damn flasher even attracts spiders?!?!

[@mitchnippert5011]

Buoy 10 sucks and so do all the people that fish there !! from about 1970 until about 84. It was great.

[@tylerleigh3264]

[@thomaskarbulajr4181]

Marlin, you mentioned 8-10 inch weight. Did you mean 8-10 oz or 8-10 lb??? Thanks again! Stay fishy!!!

[@mikenagy938]

Beep, beep beep! What's with the beep???

[@benpatrick2561]

👌👉

[@thyatirathompson]

I’m sorry I watched this guy’s video. I thought it was the “murdering fish” comment that did it for me, but it was actually the open acknowledgment of fishing an endangered species for regulations be in place to protect said species, and being butt-hurt they exist. I did come here to watch his setup and, shameless plugs aside, that’s what I got.

[@AddictedFishing]

I’m sorry that you’re uneducated on the rules and regulations of salmon fishing in the Pacific Northwest.

[@thyatirathompson]

@@AddictedFishing No apologies necessary my friend. You have your views, I have mines. Be well!

[@SergioHernandez-pf4pz]

This guy is selling fishing poles not focused on set up.

[@AddictedFishing]

Its a rod not a pole, and the rod is one of the most important factors to this fishery. We love okuma, yes they’re our sponsor but even if they weren’t, they make one of the best, reliable, rods out there, we would be using them anyway.

[@SergioHernandez-pf4pz]

@@AddictedFishing So i am correct, they're your sponsor and instead of talking about the subject you're sitting here rambling about okuma. Smart mouth.
