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.
Silver Horde Dodgers
Silver Horde offers a wide selection of dodgers and flashers for trout, kokanee and landlocked king salmon. The standard dodger for kokanee is usually the 4 inch size. This dodger swings back and for the with a wide action for attracting fish and for giving action to lures like the Micro Squid and the Ace Hi Fly, which don’ t have an action of their own. You should put a Micro Squid about 8 inches behind the 4 inch dodger for maximum action. Silver
