For Gerards (Rainbow) I use a level wind reel with 30lb braid as the main line. The rods are Medium to Medium Heavy 8.5-9 ft.
I attach a flasher, about 40" of fluorocarbon (20lb) to my lure.
Commonly people use hoochies, lymans, apexes, and spoons.
I use a bead chain after the flasher to prevent tangles.
For Kokanees - I run a medium light rod, spinning reel, with 10lb-15lb braid. (whatever is on the rod really).
I have found using a hot pink small apex (kokanee killer) is the ticket. I sometimes run a 1oz or 2oz mooching sinker, snubber, then a willow leaf, bead chain, then 30" of fluoro to the apex.
A couple ideas anyways ... give it a shot. Randy at the gill and gift in Balfour (if you are on that side) will let you know what colors are hot.
