Bingo Bugs?

[Cybersnow]

A number of years ago I visited the Bingo Bug manufacturing facility up in far Northern CA. It wasn’t much more than a workbench in a barn. But we did go out and test the lures on Rainbow trout and found them to be as effective as our favorite lures. I came across a web site called Lucky Lure company and they are selling a number of different colors supposedly especially for Kokanee. Anyone tried them? I still have a little box of the ones we used for trolling for trout, was thinking of trying a few if anyone has had any good luck with them.

Looks kind of like a Flatfish, a streamer and an Apex had a baby.

I've read the bingo bug and frisky fly do work for trout/kokanee ... been carrying them in my tackle box for around 10 years now but have yet to try one.

I guess if I had some I'd try them but wouldn't spend that much money to try one when I already have tackle that works.

When we used them for trout, the guide from Bingo Bugs just used a split shot or two a couple of feet in front of the bug. I might give them a shot this summer fishing for trout, maybe behind a dodger. But they don’t look like Kokanee winners to me.

So SuperD, what is your secret? I am a super newbie and am always looking for advice!
