yea and loaded diapers haha

Yea Jeremy is a great guy. He really has taught me alot about the sport and i really do believe in his products.

To help some others out,
how far behind the down rigger do you set your gear? (From the clip to flasher)
Your average fishing depths and how weather or time of day effect your depth of fishing.
Fishing speed.
How to fight the soft mouth fish.
I might have missed some of that in the video but if not it could all be some helpful info.

I have actually caught a couple kokes where a boat was not needed. They will it a worm hanging under a bobber. Not to often though.
I cant wait for stevens to warm up a bit, catching a few kokes sounds like fun!

All great info I forgot! Haha. I will make another video today in the boat and cover some of that

Great info...Thanx

Awesome video!
You got me pumped up for kokanee!

wait, where is the video?

Here is another video answering these questions

I am counting down the days until I can use them for pinks! Haha! Just hope mr. King doesnt make a suprise visit.

Here is one of my hand tied setups (these work for Sockeye too if you bump the hook sizes up to 1/0 or 2/0)

-Size 2 to 4 Gamaktsu drop shot hooks tied in tandem (depending on the size of the Koke's where you fish)
-3-4 strands pink UV crystal flash
-3-4 strands hot pink “fish hair” or bucktail
-2 3mm pink UV beads
-1.1 hot pink UV Smile Blade
-14 ½-inch Seaguar Grand Max Fluorocarbon leader
-00 Luhr-Jensen Herring Dodger (white, with UV tape)
You can bait the front hook as well if you wish.

As an option, color in the stripes on the other side of the Smile Blade with a purple Sharpie.

You can also downsize any of these rigs as well...
