Huge Kokanee Already! (Arrow Rock)

After scouting Arrow Rock Idaho this winter, testing some new tapes and colors, we knew exactly what we needed and where to go! Jake started things off with a Fire Bread Chub paired with a Tangerine Squid. Kevin was left contemplating if and when he'd actually catch a fish this year when suddenly he became the star of the show! Kevin, armed with his Kamikaze and Orange Squid combo managed to land one of the largest spring Kokanee we have ever seen!

Jeez place has really cleared out since march. Lsst time i went there had to be 100 boats trolling around

[@jktacklellc]

There were probably 8-10 boats out when we were. We typically try to fish on the weekdays to avoid the crazy.

@@jktacklellc yeah being so busy in the early spring probably has a lot to do with Anderson not being accessible yet. It was a Tuesday in March I was describing. At least 15 trailers parked right there at first dirt launch then only God knows how many along the road at the main ramp.

I would have just turned around! 😂

Awesome video... GREAT now I need MORE TACKLE! Love how those dodgers roll and don't seem to cause a lot of drag. I'm willing to bet the resident Coho here in the puget sound would smash all this stuff as well!

[@jktacklellc]

Thanks man! The dodgers are marine grade stainless steel and should be durable in salt water. I’d rinse them afterwords. Now, I bet the Squids would work very well too! We did design the dodgers to troll @ slower speeds. 1-1.5mph. I’m still fine tuning the Tornado, it should do well at 2.0+ mph. Check us out at jktackle.com and thanks for responding to our video!!

Blue krypto with orange flake!!!

[@jktacklellc]

The Kryptos are amazing! K: did a really nice job pairing colors. We need to make a Bronco Krypto!

Jake 😆 lower your drag and increase pressure on the tip of the rod, let the rod do the work and the drag is the safety. Lose less fish 😎 and Kevin there is a clicker on the Abu Garcia it's a pain in the ass switch on the bottom opposite of the crank handle towards the front of the reel

[@jktacklellc]

Story of my life! I lost one on the double because I didn’t set my drag! You’ve seen too much! K: will get out the microscope 🔬 🤣

[@chrisvanzandt5400]

@@jktacklellc I see a lot 🙈 but I did not see Jake put fish in the box lol. Totally teasing, happens to the best of us! We're going to have to start calling Kevin Tony Montana though the way he's on those kokes 🧐
