I don't know what the best way is, however I can tell you what Works for me. I only target Kokes but catch a few rainbow and lakers as well. I like fishing with light gear. I use a about 15' of 8lb line, a ball bearing swivel, a #00 silver hammered dodger, another swivel, and 18" of 4 lb leader, and a final swivel in front of a kokanee king or wedding ring tipped with about 1/4" of night crawler. I hook a medium release on the braided line just in front of the leader. Using the release on the braided line seems to give more consistant releases.
I don't particularly like using gang trolls because of the weight. and I don't like lead lines for the same reason. My buddy uses lead line and a two spoon troll and seems to catch a few more fish than I do, however this system always catches fish for me and fighting a koke on is a lot funner than fighting a koke, troll and lead line.
I have a friend that hooks a large gang troll to the cannon ball and then puts his release on the troll. This works ok however you have to let your line out a little more so that the troll works better.
good luck
