A lot of tackle looks good on store shelves, but only a fraction of that good looking gear also performs well and gives you an edge out on the water! Paulina Peak kokanee gear is included in that fraction…Paulina Peak lures and blades look good to anglers and they’ve quickly proven themselves to be deadly fish catchers. Captain Bryan Roccucci of Big Daddy’s Guide Service has a lot of positive things to say about Paulina Peak gear. He’s been running Paulina Peak offerings almost exclu- sively at Bucks Lake and as of this writing is nailing limits and early limits of kokanee daily for his clients. When professionals like Roccucci begin singing the virtues of a tackle line, it’s time to take notice. When it comes to catching trout and kokanee, Roccucci has seen it all and done it all and he doesn’t waste time playing with gear that doesn’t work. The Paulina Peak Tackle’s lure and blade lineup boasts three deadly offerings at this time, the Kokanee Katch Micro Hoochie, the Kokanee Katch Spinner Magic and Big-i Dodgers. The Big-i Dodger line up consists of both herring style dodg- ers and slim profile dodgers in both plain and hammered finishes for any light condition. All of these blades features a range of killer color combinations and of course each of them is embossed with the iconic Paulina Peak all seeing eye! Paulina Peaks Katch Spinners come in more than 30 cutting edge color and blade combinations, while Katch Micro Hoochies are offered in more than two dozen kokanee tempting colors.

H ot Spot Flashers perform very well when it comes to hook- ing both ocean run king salmon off the California coast and beyond and reservoir kings at lakes like Shasta and Folsom. When utilizing flashers the key decisions a fisherman needs to make are, first the line length between the downrigger release and the flasher. Second, the tail length between the flasher and the hoochie or bait. Third, the weight of the leader to use. And fourth, which bait, lure or hoochie to use behind the flasher. A typical ocean Chinook setup is 18 feet of line between the downrigger ball and an 11” Hot Spot flasher. The lure is run 42 inches behind the blade on 30 lb. fluorocarbon. These measurements are often utilized by commercial salmon trollers. When fishing shallow water, say water less then 40 feet deep, it is often wise to drop the flasher back to 30 to 70 feet behind the downrigger weight. For landlocked kings everything is downsized. Black Mamba Color Flashers Announced! Hot Spot offers a long list of flasher colors and finishes. The basic colors are red, green, blue, white, chartreuse and purple with red and green being the most popular. Finishes include reflective silver mylar, transparent pearl and glow. The leadership at Hot Spot just announced the addition of the Black Mamba color pattern to their lineup. It is going to be deadly during periods of low light and in deep water. The blade features a black background and full glow UV tape on both sides. Combine this finish with the blades change of direction location and you’ll be yelling Fish On!
