kokanee leaders on 12-14#fluorocarbon. Hook size andcolor are kind of a personalpreference. Many of mykokanee lures are tied usingsize 4 or 6 black octopusstyle hooks. I typically tiea snelled rig with 2 hooks.With my standard rig, thehooks are close together.Regarding leader length,although I tend to havespools of ready to go lureswhen I’m on a lake huntingkokanee. Typically, they arethe correct leader lengthfor the given fishery. It is agood idea to have a handfulof pretied leaders thathaven’t been cut to lengthavailable.The thought is that you’ll beable to assemble your lureand then set leader lengthas required quickly. An8-10” is kind of my standardkokanee leader length butsometimes the fish willwant something different.A couple of leaderorganization concepts areeither sealable sandwich orsnack bags or my favoritethe slotted foam tubes. Ifusing the resealable bagsgently coil your kokaneeleader and seal it in thebag. Store the sealedbags in something witha latching lid. With theslotted foam tubes, set thehook in the foam and wrapthe leader securing the endin one of the slots. You canstore the tubes on a rack,in a 3–5-gallon pail, or a2-gallon resealable bag. Ihave found that using anempty 5-gallon to hangyour leaders on duringthe day does wonders forkeeping the boat organizedas you cycle through setups. Come up with anorganizational plan thatworks for you and yourboat. Kokanee fishing ingeneral is a mental game.Be prepared but flexibleand you will bring homea cooler full of springkokanee.
