Bullards Bar Reservoir Fishing Report | July 28, 2025

The Catch America 6-inch Stainless Steel Trolling Dodger is the standard-bearer of the kokanee and trout troll — a wide-swinging attractor that pulls fish in from the surrounding water column while imparting action to any trailing lure. Premium stainless steel construction holds its shape and finish through a full season of hard use without the distortion and corrosion that compromise cheaper alloy dodgers over time. The 6-inch size delivers the ideal balance of attractor flash and line drag, making it compatible with everything from medium-action kokanee rods to heavier downrigger setups. Available in 10 proven finish options including Moon Jelly, 24K Gold, Black Diamond, and Green Diamond.

The T-Pex (also searched as TPex or T Pex) is a purpose-built inline trolling lure engineered specifically for the slow-troll speeds that kokanee and rainbow trout demand — the 1.0 to 1.8 mph range where standard spoons lose their action or spin out entirely. Its compact body produces a distinctive wobble-and-flash combination that kokanee find irresistible behind a Moon Jelly, Magnum, or 6-inch dodger, and it runs equally well solo on a double-hook leader for a cleaner, lighter presentation. The premium finish options cover the proven attractor and natural color patterns that produce across California and Western kokanee fisheries from early season through the fall run. With over 3,200 units sold last season, the T-Pex is the single best-selling lure in the Catch America lineup — because it flat-out catches fish.

The Trix Trigger Squids combine the proven squid-skirt action of a classic hoochie with a built-in action disc that adds a wobbling, pulsating movement that standard squids lack. The disc creates additional water disturbance and vibration that triggers kokanee and rainbow trout from greater distances, while the squid skirt maintains the breathing, flowing action that fish have been responding to for decades. Available in 16 color patterns including glow, UV, and bright attractor tones that produce across varying light and depth conditions. Fish them behind any standard 6-inch dodger for a complete slow-troll kokanee rig.
