Wing Micro Hoochies 1.5" - Kokanee & Trout Squid

Wing Micro Hoochies are 1.5 inch squid-skirt lures for kokanee and rainbow trout. Fished behind a dodger on a slow troll, the skirt breathes and pulses to imitate the small forage these fish key on. They have a proven track record on Western lakes from Shasta to the Eastern Sierra.

Run it behind a dodger at slow trolling speeds, the pace kokanee and trout fisheries demand. The dodger sweeps and the hoochie skirt follows on a short leader, pulsing with a breathing motion. Add a bit of scent or bait to the hooks to seal the deal on light bites.

Wing Micro Hoochies come in six glow colors: GLO Pink Tiger, GLO Pinky, GLO Chartreuse, GLO Orange, GLO Red, and GLO Blue. The glow finishes cover bright, UV, and darker tones so you can match light and depth. Start with pink or orange in low light and adjust from there.

The squid-skirt design creates a breathing, pulsating motion behind the dodger that kokanee and rainbow trout find hard to resist. Even at the slow speeds these fisheries require, the soft strands keep moving and flaring, giving fish a lifelike target that flashes and pulses through the strike zone.

It measures 1.5 inches, a compact micro profile that matches the small forage kokanee and finicky trout prefer. The little skirt still pushes plenty of water behind a dodger, and its size makes it an easy choice when fish want a smaller bite in clear water or heavy pressure.

Run it behind a Catch America Trolling Dodger. The dodger provides the side-to-side flash and vibration that pulls kokanee and trout in, then the hoochie follows a short leader back as the target they strike. Keep the whole setup on a slow troll for the best action.
