Outstanding tutorial on how to make three kokanee lures. Extremely well done and very helpful. Thank you very much
Thank you Marty, I appreciate the feedback!
Great how-to video. I love the black background, which makes it easy to see what you're doing. Thorough detail. Thanks for taking the extra time to cover all the details -- I learned a few new tips!
Thanks, I appreciate it!
Your a great wealth of information, looking foreword to making my own setup and hitting the lakes for some Kokanee !!
Great video. I use smile blades rather than the "French" blades for any spinners since they produce great action at slower speeds than the metal blades. I also use tapered beads in the squids because I'm too lazy to stack a bunch of beads in there. On the snells, I tie the bottom one like you showed, but do it first and then tie the top hook from the hook end forward. It's faster that way, and much easier to get the distance between hooks where I want it.
Thanks so much for this great video. Very helpful!
Great video. I altered slightly what you do because I was having trouble getting that bottom hook close to the top hook after tightening it (the gap was too large even if I started the wraps on the bottom hook even with the two hooks touching). What I do is pretty simple - wait to fully tighten the first hook (top hook) until the very end. Once you tighten the bottom hook there will be the normal large gap. Then go to the top hook and finally tighten it, and it will slide down towards the bottom hook as it tightens, thus shortening the gap.
Hey this was very helpful. Thanks for sharing.
Great vid Ty I now have some of the right materials I’m going to go try and make a few of these and then go up to porky pine this summer and try them out!!!!
I watch alot of TH-cam and dont ever comment or like but this video is great. Explains everything and end product looks great. I fish alot but never for Kokanee, cant wait to give this a go. Great video brotha.
Thanks, I appreciate it!
Very informative and useful.
Nice!! I’m going to make these
I love the hoochie rig and this video's content .
Thanks!
Just what I was looking for thanks 🙏
Glad it helped!
Just started trolling on my Colorado XT with a little electric motor. Can't wait to actually make my own lures to go out with! Thanks a ton for your work and advice!
GreedeeVids You’re welcome, it’s rewarding for me to hopefully help others get excited about Kokanee fishing, good luck!
Been wondering how to tie those hooks. Very helpful thanks for doing this video.
Glad it helped!
great video, thanks for breaking down the steps.
Thank you!
A lot of great tips thank you
Glad it helped, thanks for watching!
Look great 👍
Excellent vid. Thanks.
No problem, thanks for watching!
awesome video!!! thanks for sharing the links too :)
Thanks Eric, glad you found it helpful.
great video keep up the good work
Thank you Susan!
Nice video
great video..
Nice video; I tie similar lures for walleye fishing with nightcrawlers (harnesses), but don't need that knot. With my method, you can tie on your lowest hook first, then work your way up through the remainder of the add ons. Push the line through the eye of the bottom hook, just longer than the shank, then hold with your left hand. Grasping the rest of the line with your right hand, wrap 8-10 times tightly around the shank from the bottom up towards the eye, then push and pull the entire line through the eye. For the next one up, just feed the remaining long piece up through the eye, position it in relation to the bottom hook, and wrap and tie just like that one. Anything else to add, just slide down the line to the top hook (beads, spinners, blades, etc.) and finish.
Great video on making the lures. Can you provide a cheat sheet that tells where I can go to get the spinners, the spin and glow, sizes, etc. for all these three lures. I got the bead part, the hooks and the squid. An "ingredient" list would be very helpful and where to buy the ingredients.
Hunting Koks this coming May. Thx for the great video. Where are you finding the clevis, spinners and which size blades do you recommend. Greatly appreciate the education.
Great video and amazing instruction on how to do this. I've never targeted Kokanee and have no idea how to catch them but have always wanted to learn. Might have to pick up a few items and make my own because this looks easy peesy. I could make them but could I catch Kok's....?!?! Dont have a boat but I do have a sit in kayak but no downrigger. I know Scotty and other companies make small downriggers for kayak so I may have to look into that. Thanks for the video Ty, this looks fun. Just like tying flies. Still a bunch of ice on Strawberry but may have to go after Kok's once it's gone.
Rojo, you could totally do this. And you could totally get after the kokes with no downrigger or boat. Check this guy out, this is a great method:

Very good, helpful video. Going to get into Koke fishing, very useful. Thanks! An FYI, one thing I've seen is people are using crappie tube instead of the squid in case you can't get squids.
Great, glad you enjoyed it!
What size spinner blades you using ?
will this work for brook trout? or rainbows? ice fishing ontario great video
Is there specifics on bead order did you said they got a small to big to small doesn’t matter or?
where do you get those blades and what size are they?
Thanks for the video, very useful....what id the device that you have on your desk around which you have your snelled lures???
Thanks Warren! Those are called "Lindy Riggers" and I have loved them for my snelled set ups. Thanks for watching, hope that helps.
Need a link please on where to get the dodgers you have there. Cannot find them anywhere.
Enjoyed the video. Do you use these same lures when salmon are running in rivers? If so do you add weights to the leader for cast ability and depth control?
Sorry I didn’t get to this sooner! I usually only fish for salmon in lakes, so I’m probably the wrong guy to ask but I think any of these methods could be used in rivers back trolling out of a boat, or successfully casting with some added weight. Good luck!
with your experience is it possible to catch kokonee in May or once the ice is all gone. what size of barrel swivel do you use. Great Video
It's always "possible" to catch them, even during the winter through the ice. However, it really starts to get good in June/July. If you can get to the lake often, then give it a shot at ice off, it will likely be slow. But if you are only planning one or two trips this year, I would focus your time in June. Hope that helps.
Where do get your components?
Where do you buy the clevis and spinner blades? What size blade do you use. thanks.
I posted links in the description, hope that helps!
hey, great video just what I was looking for. Do you use these behind a down rigger or do you know a easier method to get down to them? Thanks again.
Thank you. I do use them behind a downrigger, however, you can rig them with a diver instead. Search for my video on how to rig a jet diver/dipsy diver. Hope that helps!
Thanks man. Took them out to the lake today and trolled behind my little boat. they did work great, however for some reason I missed a couple of really solid hits. I'm wondering if I'm using the right hooks on them. Any thoughts. Thanks for the help.
Were you using a rubber snubber? Kokanee have a very soft tissued mouth, so if there is a lot of tension on the line, it just rips the hook out of their mouth. Using a rubber snubber usually will help your landing percentage. Glad you got out!
I usually tie my trailing hook first with the knot you are using then the lead hook next with a slightly different knot. Seems to work great for me with the exception of the hooks don't always want to lay the same direction like I wan't. But I will try snelling them your way next time so I can have the same knot on both hooks. Dose the number of wraps matter? because I usually do 10 or 12 wraps on the trail hook just because the Kokanee are so rough on that hook some days.
Who knows, your way might be better... You could probably wrap more than I have been, just as long as everything pulls through nicely. You're right, it's almost always the trailing hook that breaks off first, the extra wraps may be a good idea. Let me know how it goes.
@@the-mountainlife I tried it your way and so far it turned out pretty good. I will have to see if I can repeat tying the knots in that fashion only with 8 to 10 wraps again and again because I would rather have the same knot on both hooks . It's a little tricky to do it with the trail hook right up next to the leading hook until pulled taught but not impossible. To me trying to tie the egg loop knot is almost impossible but not this, so far. Thanks for the video, I learned something new today.
@@roytiller4537 Glad it seems to be working out. The worst part, like you said, is trying to tie the trailing hook with it butted up against the lead hook. Glad you learned something new, now to just get some fish in the boat!
@@the-mountainlife I will as soon as the lakes thaw out and they unlock the gates to the road up to it. We don't get to fish all year round for them like a lot of lucky people do in other areas.
What are you using to store the finished lures that are seen on the left side of the screen? I can't make the name out and those devices look like they may prevent leader tangles, thanks.
Thanks for the question John, they are made by Lindy and are called the Rig Wrap I think...they work great for these!

Can you post a link for your bead kit? Please!
Done! Check in the video description.
Do you attach the lures to the dodgers
I do with about 10-15 inches of leader in between the lure and dodger. Hope that helps.
Could you use one bobber stop instead of the 4 beads on the hoochie rig?
I guess, but I wonder about the diameter of the bobber stop not being big enough and the squid just sliding over it...I've just always used beads because it's cheap and easy and I don't have to make sure and tighten a bobber stop knot periodically.
@@the-mountainlife The new type of bobber stoppers are not of string. They come in sizes to fit your line diameter and should work perfectly - saving $ on beads.
search. "Rubber Fishing Bobber Stopper", for example.
David K Looks like it should work fine. Honestly just go with whatever is cheaper. Good luck!
With due respect, the name of the Hook is "Gama- Katsu" Not "Gama-Gatsu" !!! 😊
Nice video
Thank you!
