Kokanee Tackle Shop

This affiliate shop highlights a lot of our favorite kokanee gear that we have in our tackle box. We get a small kickback if you buy from a link below at no additional cost to you. So your gear helps fund my gear. Thanks for your support.

We do not show amazon prices. Those prices change all the time and we’d need to update this page too much, and I’d rather be on the water. I will tell y’all that at the time I’m making this, prices on the tackle range from $5 to about $30 on some of the multi-packs. The reels and poles are obviously more. Wondering where to start? Right now my first rig I usually try when I hit the water is a pink or watermelon dodger and a Rocky Mountain Tackle Super Squid. Not sponsored by them, they just work.
