Micro Squid by Yamashita The Silver Horde Micro Squid is a type of hootchie often used for targeting smaller species of landlocked salmon , trout and kokanee with trolling applications . Micro Squid are 1.75 inches long and come in a long list of standard , ultra violet and glow colors . For those not familiar with the term , Hootchies are more or less a hollow plastic skirt that can be threaded on a leader , rear hook of a lure or on a jig head . Rig them on a double hook leader , put them behind a dodger , and you will catch fish . In fact , trolling with hootchies has become the primary method of catching kokanee and landlocked salmon in the Northern California area .
