In a perfect world I think spinners would work, but on the river you would be limited in hook size and more over the space to cast and retrieve.  What size pole?  You do not need braid and a huge reel.  Use the pin.

Single hooks only in salmon season and most of steel.  Braid is not a great idea for either species, they see it an move out of your path.
Spool up with 12-14 lb mono and use an 8 or 10 lb leader, 4 ft on the river. You can't have any weight more than 4 ft from the hook.
Single hook, no more than 1/2inch gap.
Pinning works great for steel.

11 ft Infinity switch rod. I'm gonna spool up with 12lb on the daiwa. I have 12 on the pin now. What would be a good hook size for drifting sacs for the salmon?

Size 8-10 2X heavy!

The great myth of the SR  is that you need a big hook for big fish.
You will mostly find people with 40 lb test using the #1 hooks- and they aint fishin.
Personally like 6 to 8 but many go much smaller.
For Salmon your gonna need the heavy wire though- they can get feisty.
 
Down in the DSR you can get away with a big  bunny or a popsicle,  as they are right from the lake and may still bite a big one- not generally upstream though when they start to get pounded.
HEY- don't just lean over and tail one- many are wearing a lot of hooks.
Take a real good look first.
 
Will agree that the braid is not a good choice up there.

Thank you very much for everyones help. Yes i also tie and swing Speys. Working on some now! Again everyone, Thank you!

Just remember if you use a spinner it must only have one hook, no trebles allowed unless on a floating lure.
