Team:Rocky Mountain Tackle, Radical Glow, Fresh water basics, Velocity fishing.
I did pretty good with RMT glow in the Dark Hoochies last year. They became my number 1 go to hoochie right from the start. I always have them on one of my poles. Get down around 45-50 ft and they become essential.
Yamasita/Gold Star came out with some "micro" hootchies last year. Very slendor same length as a RGT. They kicked some serious butt last year. Add one (1) 5mm glow bead but dont insert it. Just position it at the very base inside the tenicles. This will spead the tenicles out. Great action fished 8-10 inches from the dodger.

A recent study has proved that women that carry a little extra weight have a much longer life expectancy than the men that point it out....
dlm,
The only place I've been able to get them is guns, fishin & other stuff in Vacaville Ca. I've got a buddy who lives there and picked some up for me. The have a web site and I'm sure they ship. Look'em up & good luck.

Are these what your referring to? (towards bottom of page)...

Ken's are worth having also. I've got a supply from him but the Yamasita/Gold star are a bit smaller.

here's another source for the Goldstar/Silver Horde 1 3/4" micro squids.
http://www.tedssportscenter.com/minioctopus.htm
has both the double glows and the UVs
they're also a popular sockeye lure, the ocean migrating big brother of our kokes.
great tentacle action especially with a small buoyant 3/16 Lil' Corky ball up in the tentacles floating them open in the swing action from the blade/dodger
i like the luminescent pink or purple ghost Corky colors

more of the lure ocean and river salmon guys are putting hoohies on their spoons.
even see hoochies being used by some of the springer guys on the Quickfish tail hook or in front of the herring rig.
i use them steelhead jig fishing instead of the maribou or flashbou feathers.
here's a couple other hoochie sources, in Canada but shipping is very reasonable.

For many years all I used were wedding ring spinners and double whammies. Last year I bought some assassin spinners I guess because of how similar they are to what I was comfortable with and had great success. I also decided to try some 2.5 inch pink hoochies because of what I'd heard and read. I was not disappointed! Hoochies will be a big part of what I use from now on. I guess the moral of the story for me is to not get into a rut and branch out with as much as you have access to. So many lures, so little time.
try the new 1.5 hoochies from vance tackel doubled my fish count this year ended up with an average of 37 fish per trip if any one fishes Green Peter drop me a line I'll be happy to help you out
why does this continually appear as a new post, is it advertising in disguise???????
I think that every lure type requires different leader lengths, dodger/flasher choices and boat speeds. I don't have as much experience as some of you, but I do catch fish on a variety of lures including apex and hootchies. With a hootchie, you have to shorten the leader a LOT compared to an apex. The hoochie will get some action only when it is pretty close to the dodger. The longer the leader, the less action it will have. I'm often using 6-9 inch leaders on hootchies. I like the wiggle hootchies from Shasta Tackle and Crystal Basin because they wiggle like an apex and have the skirt of a hootchie. Those I can use longer leaders with.

Here is what I would consider the true micro from Goldstar/Silver Horde at 1.5" long.
2006 Dodge Ram 3500 Dually, 21' North River Seahawk
I was able to order the 1.5 LP shrimp from Fishermans wharehouse.
#15 Yama****a/Goldstar Micro Squids with a glo bead inside with shoepeg corn in secret sauce, tail hook finger width apart. #1 and #2 hooks. Oh yeah. 8" to 10" behind an Arrow, Simon or Slingblade dodger. All day long. Kokanee in the cooler.
Is Yama****a and dirty word?
Yamafeces to be more sophisticated.

Yama$h!ta.... Silverhorde imports them. Anywho, they work fantistico... Yamafeces....Bahahahahaha!!
I like the shorter ones myself. I tie my own and love the action of adding the wiggle bill. I've had very good luck with them so far.
A lot of time has past since this was posted,and numerous new product have enter the market place that I fell are more productive. I've notice small mini stuff has been the go to product,but every lake fished different I'm a tube fly trolling type guy. I haven't use a hoochies in 5 years.
