Spoons I've got questions

[Northdogboy]

So I Kayak fish saltwater. And I'm looking into starting to troll this summer for salmon.
I intend on running a dummy flasher off my cannonball and using spoons
If you were to have only 5 spoons for salmon what would they be?
I fish almost exclusively nanaimo areas.

Man the cop car coyote was such a go-to for me for years. Hardly ever pull it out anymore. I think I still have the rusty bent up one that produced so much.

5x herring aid, last 3 years since I bought one I've run one on one side and mixed top producers on
the other side. Cought a min. 80% with the Herring Aid.

That's very similar to what I use. The bottom one I believe is an ap spoon. Has been our biggest producer lately. Vancouver and nootka.
