HUS Lures

[Dropshot]

I understand the HUS lure is pretty common in the east, but we don't see them much out here in civilized country

Is anyone using them on kokes and if so what size, colors, with dodgers, with flashers, etc.

Got a picture of one or a link so we can see what they look like?

The "hus-lure" is available through Luhr-Jensen. They show them on their web site, and in their catalog. The catalog shows 13 colors...#0131 (brass/redhead) and the #0315 (rainbow) and the #0075 (fire/pearl back) look like good kokanee colors to me. That rainbow pattern (#0315) in the "kokanee King" and "needle fish" spoons have put a few kokes in the boat over the years. check out www.luhrjensen.com their listed under "spoons&spinners".

(I just noticed that my catalog is from a few years back (2001) so the color choices might have changed since then)

They call it a "casting spoon" and it looks heavy. More like something you might jig with. Using spoons is my least favorite weapon against Kokes. Just a personal thing I guess.

Not really a spoon. I have a few I picked up over the winter somewhere, about 1.5 inches long. More of a flat piece of metal with a bend to it to give it action. I have not had a chance to try one out yet but looks like it may work as a jig also. I have also seen them in a large size, about 4 inches long.
