Alright, never fished for Kings on the Sky - what do you guys use:
- pole/reel
- line
- leader/lure
Are you able to set it up so you can go for steelhead and kings with the same gear?
Appreciate the guidance.

I would recomend looking up natetreat and looking into highering his services to teach you what you need and how to use it . It will give you a running start.

Honestly, I'm probably just gonna go up one notch from my normal steelhead stuff and use 12 lb. main and 10 lb. leaders. I'm just gonna drift eggs or shrimp, or fish said baits under a float. I was also thinking about having a prawn curing party on friday night to complete the springer bait trio.
