How to Fish Hoochies Effectively
Super Squids are designed to be fished close behind a dodger. This shorter leader setup allows the dodger’s motion to transfer directly to the lure, creating an erratic, lifelike action that attracts fish.
For best results:
- Keep the lure close to the dodger
- Troll at consistent speeds for steady action
- Use as part of a complete kokanee trolling setup
Using Scent the Right Way
Scent can significantly improve your results when used correctly. Instead of adding bulk to your setup, apply scent directly to the lure:
- Use liquid scent on the squid body, leaving the hooks bare
- If using corn, limit it to the leading hook only
A clean application helps maintain the lure’s natural movement while enhancing its effectiveness.
Match Your Lure to Your Dodger
A successful presentation relies on both attraction and strike response. The dodger draws fish in, while the trailing lure triggers the bite.
To improve success:
- Choose a hoochie color that complements your dodger
- Maintain a cohesive color pattern throughout your setup
- Focus on contrast and visibility based on water conditions
