My friend Austin Moser sent me this photo of a trip recently on FDR. He has come to love our Maruto Pink UV hooks under a hoochie! I'd say these fish shown here are very impressive. Austin fishes winter for these large fish which includ some very large rainbows that are a part of the take. Standard kokanee set-ups, scented shoe peg corn (tuna or shrimp) are the go-to. The trick is to mark fish and keep your gear in or just above them. This time of year, they can be on the surface or at the depth close to their preferred temperature (54F) and food source. So, yes, I am proud to distribute these hooks. Saw this color offered by Maruto of Japan and invested some $ in them. I love to fish Kokanee and have a fair idea what they typically like so had to get them. So far we have begun to sell a bunch of them and great reviews are coming in.
Best regards to all.
