Description

Description Details FAQ/Tips The Smile Blade Sockeye Pro is a local favorite. We've dialed in this lure with high UV beads and a Smile Blade to create an irresistible sockeye setup. Do you fish the Sockeye Pro the same way you would fish a squidder for sockeye? Yes, you will fish it the same way. It is a smaller profile, which is needed sometimes when fish are used to seeing many larger profile baits. Does the Sockeye Pro work better than squidders? No, it isn't any better or worse. Sometimes fish are triggered by larger baits or, in this case, smaller profile baits. There's a time and place for both.

Field Notes

This is a salmon/steelhead rig component built around a Smile Blade and UV beads, meant to be fished like a squidder for sockeye. It’s best when fish are keying on smaller-profile presentations and you want added flash and attraction in moving water or trolling-style setups.

Pros

  • Small profile can match pressured fish
  • UV beads add visibility and flash
  • Simple, proven sockeye presentation

Cons

  • Not a standalone lure
  • May not outperform larger squidder-style rigs in all conditions
