somethings to think about (Kokanee) and.

[dubob]

When I have a fish airborne, I bury the pole tip in the water as far as possible to force it back to it’s watery world.
When kokanee fishing, my rod tip goes immediately into the water as soon as it is lifted from the rod holder with a fish on.  Retrieve slowly (not at all when the fish is headshaking) and lift the tip when I can see the dodger.  I lose very few fish.

I’ve used a lot of Koke poles but there is none finer than the KCT Kokanee Pro troller.
Same here.  I've tried several brands over the last 5 years.  I now run 4 Ugly Stik Model #USECA702UL (7.0 ft Ultralights) for kokanee & trout.  I switch to MED rods when looking for lakers at the Gorge or wipers at Willard.

My trolling reels are all the Abu Garcia Digital Line Counter Baitcast Reel - AMBS-5500LC or 6500LC.
