Questions and answers
What are Uncle Larry's Hoochies best for?
Uncle Larry's Hoochies are 2 inch squid baits for trout and landlocked kings, and they produce kokanee too. The soft squid skirt pulses behind an attractor, giving predatory fish a lifelike target. Guides run them as a slow-troll squid on many Western lakes and reservoirs.
How do I run Uncle Larry's Hoochies?
Run these hoochies behind a big chrome flasher or silver blades and slow troll them. The flasher does the attracting and kicks the squid skirt into a pulsing action. This behind-the-flasher setup is how guides fool quality kings and kokanee on the troll.
How deep should I fish Uncle Larry's Hoochies?
For landlocked kings, guides have run Uncle Larry's Hoochies behind a big chrome flasher and gotten them down 60 to 70 feet. Match your depth to where the fish are stacking on the sonar, and keep the slow troll steady so the squid skirt keeps working.
What colors of Uncle Larry's Hoochies work?
Producing colors include green, white, pink, and a purplish UV with tinsel that has fooled quality kings behind a chrome flasher. The lineup runs 17 colors, from Orange Julius and Watermelon to Golden Ticket and Bubble Gum, so you can match light and water clarity.
Should I add scent or corn to Uncle Larry's Hoochies?
Yes. Guides tip these hoochies with corn and scent everything, using attractants like WD80 to add draw to the squid. A tipped, scented hoochie behind a flasher gives kokanee and kings both the flash and the smell they want on a slow troll.
What attractor pairs with Uncle Larry's Hoochies?
Pair Uncle Larry's Hoochies with the Trolling Dodger 6 inch. Run the hoochie a short lead behind the dodger and slow troll, letting the dodger sweep and drive the squid skirt into a pulsing action that draws kokanee and landlocked kings.
