Yes these Tomic products look great.  These types and colors, sizes should work good here for our chinooks too.   I need to fish more and try some! ;)    I like the small spinner blade above the hook on the spoons for more flash.   I used to do this on my jigs.   I,m going out again soon.   Thanks for the pictures.

Hope we get to try them some this year Karl, with some new regs potentially coming !! They do look good though ............... a guy can never have too much gear .

They're sold as is-supplying 'special' hooks for various small scale fisheries costs too much.

Just crimp the barb. I like the little bump that it creates. Seems to keep fish on there better than a straight barbless  hook.
