Frequently Asked Questions

What comes in Big Nate's Ultimate Kokanee Kit?

Big Nate built this kit around his go-to kokanee gear: two 24k gold 6 inch dodgers, Chrome Killer scent, two Uncle Larry's Glow Tiger spinners in Two Hot Tiger and MAD Irishman, a T-Pex 1 inch in Orange Gold, and an X-Pex 1.75 inch in 24k gold.

Who is this kokanee kit built for?

This kit suits kokanee and trout anglers who want a proven, guide-selected lineup instead of guessing. Big Nate, a respected kokanee angler, chose every piece to work together. It covers your attractor, lures, and scent so you can rig up and fish with confidence on the first trip.

How do I fish the pieces together?

Run a 24k gold 6 inch dodger as your attractor, then trail a T-Pex, X-Pex, or Uncle Larry's Glow Tiger spinner on a short leader behind it. This is a classic slow-troll kokanee setup. Add Chrome Killer scent to each lure to boost the draw in low-light and stained water.

What is the Chrome Killer scent for?

Chrome Killer is a kokanee scent included to add attraction to your lures. Apply it to the T-Pex, X-Pex, or spinner in the kit so trailing fish commit to the bite. Scent helps most when the water is off-color or the bite is light. Reapply often to keep the trail fresh.

What do the two Uncle Larry's Glow Tiger spinners add?

The kit includes two Uncle Larry's Glow Tiger spinners, Two Hot Tiger and MAD Irishman. Their glow finish and spinning blade throw flash and vibration behind the dodger, giving kokanee two distinct looks. Run whichever color the fish prefer that day and switch when the bite slows.

What should I add to keep this kit fishing all season?

Add a pack of Maruto Sickle Double Hook Leaders so you can re-rig fast when a leader frays or a fish runs off with your gear. The pre-tied fluorocarbon leaders match the kokanee lures in this kit and keep your line back in the water quickly.
