I'm going to show you how to catch kokanee using leadcore and downriggers. The first rod I set out in the early morning is my leadcore and most of the time it'll hook up even before getting the downrigger rod out. You have to know some important tips if you want to limit out fast.
I'll clue you in on how I scent shoepeg corn and how to tip the hook. How long the leader is behind the dodger is key to getting the right action. The distance in set back before you clip it into the release is critical to hooking up. And this next tip applies to anyone using downriggers: How to check if your boat is hot or not – giving a negative charge off the cable. I’ve seen it countless times where one boat just can’t catch – if your boat is HOT, you won’t catch anything!
