Questions and answers

What is the Trigger Dodger 3.5 inch?

It is a teardrop-shaped trolling dodger and attractor for kokanee, rainbow trout, and landlocked salmon. At 3.5 inches it swings wide with less drag than oversized dodgers. Run it slow ahead of a hoochie, wedding ring, or fly to add the side-to-side flash that pulls fish in.

How do I use the Trigger Dodger?

Run it slow as a lead attractor, not as the lure itself. Clip your trailing bait, hoochie, or wedding ring a short leader behind it. The dodger sways side to side, throwing flash and vibration that draws kokanee and trout to your offering. Keep trolling speeds slow for the best swing.

What colors does the Trigger Dodger come in?

It comes in twenty color patterns, from Pink Blue Chrome Hammered and Yellow Orange to Watermelon, Popsicle, and various hammered chrome and diamond finishes. Bright hammered chrome patterns flash hard in sun and clear water, while painted and glow tones help in stained water or low light.

Why is the 3.5 inch dodger better than a big one?

Its teardrop shape swings wide while pulling less drag than traditional oversized dodgers. That means a stronger, cleaner side-to-side kick without overpowering light kokanee and trout gear or your trailing lure. You get the attraction of a big dodger with better action at the slow speeds these fish want.

What can I run behind the Trigger Dodger?

Trail a hoochie, a wedding ring spinner, a small trolling fly, or a soft egg imitation a short leader behind it. The dodger supplies the flash and the trailing lure supplies the target. Match the trailer to kokanee, trout, or landlocked salmon and keep the troll slow.

What lure pairs best with the Trigger Dodger?

Trail a Mini Squid hoochie a short leader behind it. The dodger swings and drives the squid skirt into its breathing, pulsing action that kokanee and pan trout key on. It is a classic slow-troll pairing: dodger for flash, hoochie for the bite. Simple and consistently productive.
