Max's Spinning Rings - Double Hook
Max’s Spinning Rings upgrade the classic Wedding Ring design with a loose-bead spinning mechanism that creates a faster, more erratic bead action than traditional ringed presentations. The double-hook configuration improves hookup ratios on short-striking kokanee and rainbow trout, catching fish that tap the tail without fully committing to a single hook. Designed for slow-troll kokanee speeds, the Spinning Rings run true and maintain their action from start to finish of the troll. Available in 17 color patterns across the tiger stripe and pearl tone series.
Uncle Larry's Hoochies - 2 Inch Trout Squid & Landlocked King Salmon Squid
Uncle Larry's Hoochies are some of the most productive squid-skirt lures in the Landlocked King Salmon and trout trolling category: vibrant colors, exceptional in-water action, and a proven track record on Western fisheries from Shasta to the Eastern Sierra. The hoochie skirt design produces a breathing, pulsating motion behind a dodger that kokanee and rainbow trout find irresistible at the slow trolling speeds their fisheries demand. Available in Multiple color patterns covering the full range of bright, UV, and natural tones that produce in varying light and depth conditions throughout the season.
Size: 2 inches
T-Pex - 1 Inch Kokanee & Trout Trolling Lure
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.
