double dodger I guess that's why 20% of the fisherman catch 80% of the fish. Has anyone tried the double dodger set up? With the big swinging action, how long of a set back would you use for a spinner and how long for a hoochie rig?

Smokin' kokes My experience is that the canning process intensifies the smoky flavor, so start with a light smoke and increase the time to taste with experience.

Multiple Lures Looking at the rig, I don't think it would be much fun fighting a koke that is dragging all of that rigging - looks like there would be more resistance than a cowbell type set up. It does give me an idea for a ball troll with the downrigger release coming off the back. Has...

mini downriggers I use an 8# ball off my cannon mini troll and have not had any problems. I am looking to upgrade to an electric since I'm moving up from the tippy pelican bayou to a new to me crestliner canadian.

FF I found a garmin 536S new on E-Bay for $499 and an Airmar P66 w/speed and temp transducer for less than $100, so I have what I hope is a really good sonar and a chartplotter all in one. The water is still hard here so I have not had a chane to try it out. I am a little concerned about the...

I'm looking at building some hoochie like creations out of rubber/silicone skirt material. Has anyone tried adding a glass rattle to any of their rigs? I'm thinking the noise might induce the aggression strikes.

I tried hoochies this year for the first time with good success. Most of my fish and my biggest have come on a p-line pink and blue hoochie with a small pink smile blade in front, corn and a gulp pink maggot on the hooks.

I use the mini-troll out of my little pelican bayou with good success, not sure what kind of problem you are experiencing. I have a berklely rod holder that I put the downrigger pole in - all within easy reach of my seat. I am looking at getting another rigger, probably a lake troll. Cannon...

The only thing I can add to the already provided advice is consider running your flashers off the ball and don't use a flasher/dodger on your line. I find that the kokes are amazing at changing direction so fast that they create slack in the line between themselves and the dodger/flasher when...

Rig storage I go with the pool noodle - I can cut them to fit in a gallon size ziplock (2 per bag, each holds 10 or so rigs) and throw them in my tackle bag. I tie loops in my rigs so I just break a tootpick in two and stick it in the foam. Loop over the toothpick, wrap around the foam and...

Montana kokes I've been out to the Helena Regulating Resevoir several times this spring. The hot combo for me has been a p-line pink and purple uv hoochie behind a dodger with some corn and a pink gulp maggot. Catching them anywhere from the surface to 25 feet. Figured out they were on the...

Wholesale sports has p-line hoochies in a variety of colors, uv, etc. I think they were $1.99 for 5. I did really well with the pink and purple uv colored hoochies this weekend at Helena Valley Regulating Resevoir - some nice, fat fish up to 19 inches
