Can you troll kokanne trolls (gang trolls)(cowbells) whatever they're called with a squidtype bait behind them for both Lake Trout and Kokannees? Will rainbows hit that stuff also?
Also, what is the best way to rig a dodger and then a spoon or spinner behind it? Main line to swivel, then dodger, then swivel then what? Or do I have it all wrong?

Here's a [url "http://www.luhrjensen.com/techreports/13%20Dodgers%20&%20Flashers.pdf"]Dodgers and Flashers[/url] tech report from Lure Jenson.
Based on the species you're asking about, sounds like Flaming Gorge action, so you may want to check out Lure Jenson's [url "http://www.luhrjensen.com/techbulletins/513%20Flaming%20Gorge.pdf"]Flaming Gorge[/url] tech bulletin too.

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
