System 2 Nickel Blade Kokanee Dodgers

High-Action Kokanee Dodgers for Maximum Flash and Attraction

System 2 Nickel Blade kokanee dodgers are engineered to create aggressive underwater action that attracts fish from a distance. Featuring a reverse-offset recurve blade, these dodgers produce a unique 180° back-and-forth motion that generates strong vibration and flash—helping trigger more strikes.

Each dodger is built with an ultra-bright nickel finish and a stamped hex pattern that reflects and scatters light in all directions. Combined with 360° UV color visibility on both sides, these dodgers remain highly effective in a wide range of water conditions, from clear lakes to deeper, low-light environments.

Available in multiple color patterns, each variation is designed to perform in specific conditions—whether you need high visibility in stained water or more natural tones in clear water.

Choosing the Right Color

Selecting the “right” color will make a big difference in your success:

  • There is no “right” color that will always produce “fish on.” That is because color is only a bite stimulant that kicks in when the target fish is close to the presentation tackle. The target fish is drawn into you setup because of the vibrations produced as the dodger moves through the water.
  • For these reasons it is best to have a good selection of dodgers and lures on hand. Kokanee will bite on one color only to ignore the same color a short time later. Figuring it out is one of the joys and challenges of kokanee fishing.
  • Keep accurate records of your efforts noting color, depth, and time of day to discern color pattern trends for your body of water.

Many years of studies conclude that it is best to match the color of the dodger with the color of the lure.

Dial In Your Kokanee Setup

Pair your System 2 Nickel Blade dodger with spinners, hoochies, squids, or kokanee rigs that match the color pattern. This increases your chances of triggering strikes, as kokanee are highly responsive to coordinated flash and color.
