Rigging Rapalas for Fall Steelhead

[Fish Tank]

OK, so I need a little refresher here. A few years back I nailed the fall steelhead just beyond the second sandbar out of Holland. J11 jointed orange rapala was the ticket, and if I remember correctly, this is what I did. We never got deeper than 30 feet if I remember correctly.

1) 1/2 oz bullet weight

2) bead

3) barrel swivel

4) 24 inch 12 pd mono leader

5) rapala knot

6) j-11 jointed rap

The question - 1/2 oz enough and is a 24" leader long enough. Picky questions I guess but I just remember being dialed in with a set up like that.

thanks ahead of time.................Fish Tank
