Thanks for the responses. Is there a difference in size/colour used for Springs vs Coho?

This is very interesting as a few years ago when I came to the Island thats all that people fished with. But, they seam to have gone away. I would like to see the colors that you use (if you still use them).

Watermelon Apex! Different sizes depending on what size baitfish are around.

Years ago, I got a nice silver one - looked fantastic all shiny, all silver. Couldn't even catch dogfish with it!

How do you rig them? Looking at the picture above, it appears that the hook is on a swivel connected to the mono leader. Does one use an open siwash hook and put it on a swivel? What size hook is normally chosen?

Thanks.

Freind of mine used to do well with the white pearl for winters,outfished me once in sooke and I was using bait\flasher and he was using no flasher just the apex. I tried them once in awhile but not much luck, Killer on coho's but they will bite bear hook's at time's
