The problem with you guy's using 6 to 8 feet of leader is when you snag the bottom and break them off you leave 4-6 feet of line to tangle with more leader's and eventually leave a huge snag and alot of line in the hole. 5' cut is the longest I'll run on the Puyallup. The key to successful Chinook fishing on the Puyallup isn't about really long leader's , its about figuring out where Chinook travel and rest. I was successful with 3'6" leaders but you gotta find the fish instead of running 8'leaders across the entire river leaving tons of snags and line everywhere.
Thank you for the comment. I agree with knowing and learning how to read a river and I have had plenty of success with running a smaller leader if the conditions call for it, but at the same time I will land my limit usually before the people up and down the river from me using my method. I’m not saying your wrong though. You seem knowledgeable from what I’ve read. Tight lines…..
Send your address to my email and I’ll send you some stickers. Do u want black or white? Knottedhooks1911@gmail.com. I like fixed unless I’m landing with a net. Then I like sliding in case my weight tangles in the net while trying to land the fish.
I appreciate your comment. I’ve had several people want me to show how to setup for the Puyallup River. And the method I showed works effectively. The fish that have been caught have had the hook pinned in the corner of the mouth which is a fair and ethical method. I understand your position and I too am against any snagging. The same point could be brought up with twitch jigging. If you fish everything correctly and abide by the rules everyone can catch and enjoy fishing. Tight lines….
Thanks for the information and the closeup break down of the rigging you use. I'm gonna get back out there tomorrow and maybe catch something now.
I’m going out tomorrow after work by the Fred Myer. Tight lines brother!!!!
Solid bro! Thank you for the tips!
Thank you for watching.
Thanks!
No problem. Good luck out there….

How to snaggar
Tight lines!!
Man those are bad ass stickers. I was going to ask a question is it okay to have a sliding weight or is it better to have the three-way swivel.

Another advocate for ignoring the anti-snagging rules in effect. More snaggers incoming
