"rule of thumb 1 in 3"? If I'm not catching 75-80% of my bites I'm doing something wrong. BTW, the dodgers are designed to fish at slower speeds, say 0.8-1.4, while the sling blades can be trolled faster, say up to 1.6 and up. So if you're in a situation where you can't get the trolling speed down, go to sling blades. The dodgers would start rotating, which you don't want. Also, really shouldn't be targeting kokanee for catch and release on lake Sammamish, it's closed for kokanee.

I heard salad shrimp was a good bait as well.
Good overview.
