Austin Moser's Washington State Kokanee Kit

Washington angler Austin Moser built this kit around the techniques and tackle he uses to target trophy kokanee. Every item is guide-tested and personally selected by Austin, so you get a lineup that has already put fish in the boat rather than a random assortment.

This kit is designed for kokanee anglers who want to reach their limit faster. It works for Washington waters and other Western kokanee fisheries alike. Newer trollers get a proven starting setup, and seasoned anglers get a quick way to refresh a kokanee tackle box.

Kokanee are a slow-troll target. Run an attractor or dodger up front and trail the kit's lures a short leader behind it. Keep speeds low, stagger your depths, and adjust until you find the fish. Small changes in speed and color often trigger the bite.

No. It carries the Washington State name because Austin Moser designed it there, but the lures and tackle produce on kokanee anywhere they swim. Kokanee behave similarly across Western reservoirs, so the same slow-troll approach and color choices travel well from lake to lake.

Add a pack of Maruto Sickle Double Hook Leaders. The pre-tied fluorocarbon leaders re-rig in seconds and match the double-hook setups kokanee lures need. Keeping spares means a nicked leader or lost rig never cuts your trip short on the water.
