System 3 Blade Kokanee Attracting Dodgers

Adaptive Action Dodgers Built for Versatility and Visibility

System 3 Blade kokanee dodgers introduce a completely different approach to underwater attraction. Built with a distinctive three-lobed “leaf” blade, these dodgers create a dynamic combination of pulsing vibration and rotational movement that can be adjusted based on trolling speed.

Unlike traditional dodgers, the System 3 design allows anglers to control presentation. At slower speeds, the blade produces a subtle side-to-side wobble. Increase your speed, and the dodger transitions into a wide, arcing rotation that mimics wounded baitfish—triggering aggressive reaction strikes from kokanee and other game fish.

Their ability to shift action based on speed makes them a versatile tool across multiple species and fishing conditions.
