Field Notes

This is a trolling dodger used ahead of bait or a lure to add flash and action. It’s designed for kokanee, trout, salmon, and similar species, and can be pulled faster than many dodgers with relatively low resistance. Best used when trolling at moderate speeds, especially where a subtle side-to-side kick and flash can help trigger strikes.

Pros

  • Slim profile creates less drag than many dodgers
  • Can be trolled up to 2.4 mph
  • Flexible nickel versions allow tuning for different actions
  • Useful for kokanee, trout, and salmon trolling

Cons

  • Painted versions are not flexible
  • Not a casting lure
  • Rolling can become an issue above stated speed
