I know there are a couple guys on here that own tackle companys but is there anyone that makes there own design of kokanee lures?
 
I don't know if it counts or not but i do make my own squid rigs buying the body seperate saves some money and you can add glow beads or a wing flasher if you want the biggest advantage is useing heaver leader then what they come with from the store i am going to start making my own spinners for koke's hear in the near future very easy to make and alot cheaper.
 
I still need a camera but when i get one i will be happy show you guys some. how about you petty post some pics of your secret home made lures LOL

ive got some ive made but i have a hard time testing them when im catching fish with tried and true lures. LOL I just saw a prototype lure yesterday that i had a hand in developing
 
here is something i heard I have not tried yet but here it is. apex style lures you can make them real easy with apoxy? i don't know for sure if it is apoxy or not if any one knows how for sure let me know
 
the quest for the majic lure. ive been whipping up some of my own as well. real chrystal gemstone beeds. hand tied squids. as far their own stuff. i dont think so. when they can order peices and just assemble or paint and throw on a shelf. ive been pondering the idea juat for another right off. can you say research and developement right off. thumbsup
 
I have made a few in the past with limited success...Back in the day.I used to make my own pop-gear. Now I tweak a lot of the lures I use adding my own personal touch to them. I do enjoy making up different squid combo's ,adding different beads,and different color inserts into the bodies.
 
Pop-Gear

I know most of you will laugh your heads off when you see this, but it really works!
So I make pop-gear for a little hobby. It tears up the trout pretty good and believe it or not, the kokes like it too.

Here's some of the patterns I have been making, I'm going to try a few at the Gorge this weekend and and see if I get any takers. Slayed em at causey last week with both the green glow and the Koke Killer.
Check it out! If anyone is interested in making some, let me know and I'll lead you in the right direction.

Quit Laughing!!! It works!thumbsup

I would be interested in learning how to make the koke killer, and green glow. Could you send me a PM
 
Well I guess I'll spill the beans, I have a few secret custom home-made jobbers, and really kick some butt with them, especially causy, and the berry. LH2 has used them to testify.
 
so how can we purchase a few of these. I am filling boxes. I did talk to someone(kokehead?) at the willard tourney and he did mention reapers squids
 
i have sone questions about uv? how is it applly it or is it a mix in product? would love to find a spray on uv brightener.
 
Yeah, they make UV spray and gel for that purpose. One is called Fool-A-Fish and i forgot the other one. I have been using it on macks(oh oh, i just spilled the beans) and they LIKE it!tooexcited
 
COOL THANX GUYS. IVE BUILT A FEW KOKE SPOONS THAT I WANA HIT WITH IT. AND OYA CANT SPILL THE BEANS.laugh hyst
 
well ive got some real intersting koke lures built now. i designed 4 differnt types of lures.3 types per design action baits/ spiner baits/ squids/ and a thing i call a ball biat. built the action lures spinners and a ball bait so far. its been alot of fun. ashley came down last week when he came by i showed him the first style designs and 1 proto type of the action seiries. his eyes told me what i wanted to know. thumbsup. i beleive the action seiries will catch most types of fish. trolled or casted... now its onto the squids. how about the rest of ya. any one using their stuff yet? and how is it working out? ken
