Frequently Asked Questions

What is in Jeff Goodwin's Kokanee Killer Kit?

The kit includes two 4 inch 24K Gold Dodgers, four Uncle Larry's Special UV spinners in Snow White, Gold/Pink, Gold/Orange, and Copper/Orange, a 24K gold Magnum Willow Leaf Dodger, and a 2 pack of Tequila Sunset Hot Tails. It is a complete kokanee trolling setup.

Who designed the Kokanee Killer Kit?

Shasta Lake guide Jeff Goodwin hand-picked this setup from the gear delivering results on his own trips. Buying the kit lets you fish the same dodgers and Uncle Larry's spinners a working Shasta guide relies on during kokanee season, rather than assembling the spread yourself.

What is Jeff Goodwin's Kokanee Killer Kit for?

It is built for kokanee, tuned around Jeff Goodwin's program on Shasta Lake. The gold dodgers and UV Uncle Larry's spinners cover the flash and color kokanee respond to, giving you a proven starting point whether you fish Shasta or another kokanee lake.

How do you fish Jeff Goodwin's Kokanee Killer Kit?

Fish it as a slow-troll system. Run a 24K gold dodger in front for flash, then trail an Uncle Larry's UV spinner a short leader behind it. Keep the speed low so the dodger rolls and the spinner spins, and add the Hot Tails to tip your setup.

Is Jeff Goodwin's kit slow or fast trolling?

Slow trolling. Kokanee gear built around dodgers and Uncle Larry's spinners needs a low speed so the dodger kicks side to side and the spinner blade turns. Kokanee are soft-mouthed and respond to that slow, flashy presentation, not a fast-moving spread.

What can I add to Jeff Goodwin's Kokanee Killer Kit?

Expand your trailing options with Uncle Larry's Hoochies. Running a squid behind your dodger gives kokanee a different profile and color to react to, so you can switch between spinners and hoochies until you find the pattern the fish want on a given day.
