My boat runs about 1.6 at its slowest Ive been catching most fish with Db's and smelt guns with no problem. Can I run top guns or 61guns at this speed? Ive heard top guns will roll if trolling too fast!

Top guns should work fine at that speed wayne. Most people are doing about 1.5 - 2.2 mph (GPS ground speed) for salmon, slower to much slower for lakers and sometimes a bit faster for 'bows. I think you're fine with the top guns up to maybe 3 mph. When in doubt, set your speed and check your lure action over the side of the boat.
