Your Favorite Made In Canada or USA Salmon Plugs.

[Paperslayer]

two reasons why:
1-. they need to be trolled fast. 3 plus’MPH.
2- you need to have at least 40 feet of line out before you clip into downrigger. they need to swim erratically. too short of line hamstrings it’s ability to swim naturally.

Thanks for the tips; I have kinda grown used to being the only guy on the west coast that has never had success with a plug

I asked my buddy @Ryan A to paint me up a pair of my KIKO lures with a focus on salmon. These are what he came up with. I added the tape and eyes. He did the heavy lifting. I can barely wait to get them wet sometime this season.

Thanks Ryan.

interesting. what’s with the keel? does it impart different movement than a typical tomic plug?

These custom fishing lures swim agressively at speeds from 1.5 up to 7 mph, have lifelike motion, and catches largemouth, smallmouth bass, pike, walleye, salmon, halibut, lingcod, bottomfish, musky (muskie), many warm water species and of coarse many types of trout, even lake trout. KIKO lures have been fished worldwide with great success. The lure was originally invented by Charlie Kingston in Ontario over 35 years ago and Patend in both Canada and USA. They are very versitile and can be cast & retrieved, or trolled at depth and speed. The keel adds stubility at high speed and offers a glympse of light refraction that baitfish often emmit. I loved them so much, I bought the company over ten years ago and moved everything to BC. Now they are a PEETZ brand.

Here is how the rest of @Ryan A custom KIKO colors finished out. Can't wait to drench them in the Pacific.

Hey Rob, random thought without having seen these lures move before. The hook attachment is at the back end of the plug, where most of the movement or waggle would be derived from. When you add a hook, you obviously add weight to that end that you want dancing around. Does that potentially kill some of the potential action? Have you ever tried drilling a hole closer to the front of that metal keel, to a position similar to a Tomic? Could this add a little extra kick to those lures?

I'd like to try fishing one of those with an 'assist hook' like these on the back-light sharp & deadly.

They were developed to have the hook placement and the lead connection where they are currently. There is six years worth of development and 35 years of sales world wide where they were tested on a super broad range of species in both freshwater and saltwater. Most of my experience here on the west side of Canada has been on chinook, coho and chum, lingcod, halibut and trout. It is a multi purpose lure that can be cast or trolled. I mostly troll. I run inline singles up to 4/0 but found that 3/0 worked well. Assist rigged hooks work well too, but short custom ties seem to work extremely well. Speed range depending upon your target is 1.5 to 6 mph. It is also a boyant lure, so can be cast and float, then pair down and crank to dig down or flip your rod to walk the dog fast. These fish are from numerous anglers from various areas.

Look good!
