Yes I have tipped with chub or sucker for the last few years when trolling for trout with koke gear. Cutting thin pieces of chub with the skin on, then hooking through the skin near the top edge of the piece actually doesn't affect the action that much. I do this late in the year at Lost Creek, East Canyon and Echo. Usually I start out experimenting with tipping 1/2 of the lures with a crawler, and 1/2 with chub to see what they want. More often than not, I end up with chub on all of the lines. This happened on Monday. I also tip with chub ice fishing for trout at these locations.
