Mini Squids deliver the proven squid-skirt action that kokanee and trout have been responding to for decades, in a compact size perfectly matched to lighter slow-troll setups. Trolled behind a dodger, the Mini Squid produces an irresistible pulsing, breathing action that mimics the small invertebrates kokanee actively target during mid-water feeding. The size-2 hooks are correctly sized for the smaller mouths of kokanee and pan-sized rainbow trout, improving hookup ratios on short-striking fish. Available in Orange, Pink & Purple. The 3 colors that consistently produce across Western kokanee fisheries.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Mini Squid hoochie best for?
It is a compact squid-skirt hoochie for kokanee and pan-sized rainbow trout. The soft skirt gives a pulsing, breathing action that mimics the small invertebrates kokanee feed on. Slow troll it behind a dodger and it becomes one of the most consistent kokanee producers in your spread.
How do I fish the Mini Squid?
Run it slow behind a dodger, the classic kokanee setup. The dodger sways and pulls the squid skirt, giving it a breathing, pulsing action at slow trolling speeds. Tie it a short leader behind the dodger so the skirt stays lively. It works great for kokanee and pan trout.
What colors does the Mini Squid come in?
It comes as unrigged squid skirts, three per pack, in three colors: Orange, Pink, and Purple. Because they arrive unrigged, you tie your own hooks and leader to match your dodger and depth. Pink and purple shine in stained water, while orange pops in bright sun.
Is the Mini Squid rigged or do I add my own hooks?
It comes unrigged, so you build your own leader and hooks to fit your setup. Match the hook to the small mouths of kokanee and pan trout, and keep the leader short behind the dodger. That freedom lets you tune leader length and hook size to the fish and the water.
What dodger should I run with the Mini Squid?
Pair it with the Trigger Dodger 3.5 inch. The dodger swings wide with less drag and drives the squid skirt through its breathing action at slow kokanee speeds. Tie the Mini Squid a short leader behind it. Together they make a clean, proven slow-troll kokanee and trout setup.
