What’s a good ballpark length of leader for a squirt behind the dog tail?

TexasWalker, thanks for the mention.

Kokabow tackle dodgers and Mack's Sling Blade dodgers are good as well. The Kokabow dodgers have a good profile and kick. The Mack's are bendable and you can change the action to what works from day to day. I like to have a few different types of dodgers, because some days a different profile and action attract more kokanee than the day before.

It depends on the time of the year and "type" of squirt you are using. Typically, longer leaders in the spring or for lures with their own action and shorter leaders in June, July and August.

Stump lake.

So around 16-20” with the mini hootchies? That’s what I use behind the hot spot mini rotating flashers, works really well at times but looking for a good change up. Dodgers in my experience require a much shorter leader to give a lifeless hootchie action, all else being equal speed included...

I run 10-12" year round.
Get yourself a couple Dogtails, you won't regret it.
They're cheap too.

Planning to head out to Kawkawa tomorrow. What do you guys think?

Edit: As usual, life happens. Maybe I'll make it out next Saturday

[ekul246]

One of the guys at Fred's Custom Tackle in Abbotsford today said he thinks Kawkawa might still be frozen. Hadn't occurred to me that it would freeze at all.
Any idea if it is?
