Frequently Asked Questions

What is Trophy Kokanee UV Scent for?

Trophy Kokanee is a UV scent developed by guide Austin Moser and produced by Catch America. It draws kokanee, trout, and even sockeye. Anglers mix it into shoepeg corn to sweeten a slow-troll setup. Steve Hoskov used it at Lake Coeur d'Alene, with kokanee hitting within a minute of setting lines.

How do I use Trophy Kokanee Scent?

Work it into your corn before you troll. Austin Moser runs pink-dyed corn tipped with a Gulp maggot, then adds Trophy Kokanee scent, so the maggot holds the fragile corn on the hook while the scent draws fish. Reapply to keep the UV scent trail fresh.

What lure should I tip with Trophy Kokanee Scent?

Tip a slow-troll kokanee lure. Steve Hoskov ran a T-Pex behind a small Catch America dodger, tipped with corn and Trophy Kokanee scent, trolling about 1.5 mph at Lake Coeur d'Alene. Kokanee hit within a minute. It also sweetens hoochies and spinners on the troll.

What fish does Trophy Kokanee Scent attract?

It is built for kokanee but also pulls trout, landlocked salmon, and sockeye. Austin Moser developed the formula and fishes it on pink corn at Lake Roosevelt for kokanee and triploids behind planer boards. The UV scent lays a trail that helps fish home in on your bait.

How do I rig Trophy Kokanee Scent for kokanee?

Run the T-Pex behind a small dodger, tip the hooks with scented corn, and slow troll about 1.5 mph, the setup Steve Hoskov used at Lake Coeur d'Alene. Mark fish first, then let out line to run the lure just above them. Add a Gulp maggot to hold the corn.
