Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Slim UV Dodger 4.5 inch?

It is a slimmer version of the Catch America UV Trout and Kokanee Dodger. It keeps the same 4.5 inch length but measures just 1.5 inches wide, so it creates less drag while holding the proven fish-attracting action for trout and kokanee, with upgraded UV color patterns.

How is the Slim different from the original dodger?

Both run 4.5 inches long, but the Slim is only 1.5 inches wide. That narrower profile cuts drag, so you fight the fish instead of the dodger. It keeps the same aggressive action anglers liked, with enhanced UV patterns for better attraction in varied water.

How do I fish the Slim UV Dodger?

This is a slow trolling dodger. Run it up front as an attractor and trail a hoochie, squid, spinner, or fly behind it on a short leader. Keep the pace slow so the dodger swings with its signature kick and pulls trout and kokanee toward the trailing lure.

What species is it made for?

The Slim UV Dodger is designed for trout and kokanee. Its flash and swimming action call both species in, and the reduced drag makes it a strong choice for kokanee anglers who want the dodger's attraction without the heavy pull fighting light kokanee rigs.

How many colors does it come in?

The Slim UV Dodger is offered in twenty finishes, spanning hammered and smooth patterns like Orange/Yellow, Triple Watermelon, Pink Blue Chrome, Gecko, Rainbow, and more. The range lets you match water clarity and light, from bright chrome patterns to darker, high-contrast options.

What should I run behind it?

Trail an Uncle Larry's UV Squid Kokanee and Salmon Hoochie behind the Slim UV Dodger on a short leader. The dodger supplies the flash on a slow troll and the squid provides the target, a classic slow trolling combo for kokanee and trout.
