COHO Salmon: 5 of the BEST LURES to get you on the Silver Bite 

I use a micro crank bait that is silver color with a neon green bottom or a size 2 hook that has a leaf on it to make a fly that isn’t a fly

“Looks like a bug that’s running away with salmon egg, and it pisses the salmon off” 😂😂 I like it.

Good lure choice but I would like to add one more. The Mepps Aglia original with the silver blade and the red/yellow body in #5. I have caught more coho on that lure than any other lure I've tried. Also, I discovered a technique that worked really well for me last year in Alaska. Cast upstream and then reel the lure quickly downstream. Right after the lure passes your position turn your rod tip back upstream and slow your retrieve so that the lure swings in a big arch in the river. I caught many fish last year using this technique and in many cases it was the only thing that got them to bite.

Rooster tails and twitching jigs have been good to me. A lot of people around here run those blue fox spinners, but I never have any luck with them.

Thank you so much for actually listing size/weights! I appreciate the thoroughness on the descriptions all around. The number of guide video's that just say "I'm using a Mepp's" with no mention of color, size, model, etc. is infuriating. I've only ever fished Atlantic salmon, down rigging in a stocked lake with the trusty dare devil spoons in red/white and the salmon egg print or the chartreuse Syclops , so I'm hoping your tips help when I actually get on that Alaska trip.

Holly man that’s crazy your fishing so close to that bear!! I have way too many lures lol that’s a great video good editing. Tight lines!

Mepp’s flying C are good too, nailed the snot out of them here last fall fishing🎣

I see that you use a lot of spinners. I fish lake Michigan here in northwest Indiana, and spoons have worked the best for me. Top 3 colors were orange and brass, chartreuse and brass, and hammered nickel and blue. Little Cleos and K.O. Wobbers were the top 2 brands. 2/3 and 3/5 were the best weights..

I live in Alaska and pretty much live on the Lower Kenai all late summer. Pixee 1/4-1/2 oz depending of current and Panther Martin Willow Strike on Sampo black swivels are KILLER and I would say a must try for Silvers.

The pixie use 1/4 oz in either pink or orange with gold or silver rim for small to medium, then move up to the 1/2oz for med to larger, i havent really had luck with the 3/4oz but i see people use them, i always put a little rubber egg on one of the hooks for good luck😂 red seems to do the trick.

hello my best friend, greetings to one hobby, this is very helpful and very useful for fishing hobbyists, always success👍👍👍

Awesome tips! Crappy weather is good sometimes!

The bear: hey hows it going catching anything? Them: hey bear hey bear. Bear: Ok then i guess so? Cya.

Nice video, my personal favorite is the Blue Fox Vibrax, I caught a ton of Cohos this year in Alaska with them. I had Mepps spinners too but I couldn't get them to spin as consistently and I didn't have as much luck with them. I've never been able to catch a Coho with a spoon before so I think spinners are probably better.

Dynamite! Love coho fishin!

Steel ees are by far the no. 1 choice for me. They always out fish blue foxes or any other lure I have used on coho. I call them coho killers.

Thanks for the info, are u a fan of using a siwash vs a treble on the vibrax?

That last tip though. Guilty!

North Fork Lures are hands down the best lure for Coho!

Great video thanks

Thanks for the great recommendations. I’ll be taking this gear to Alaska soon. Excited to try it out. Do you put scent on your blades?

Awesome, to the point video. Have any that are specific for beginnings... like "HOW to Coho Set Up: Rod, Reel, line, ...etc.." :) Just curious.

Great list, but you forgot to mention the Super Duper which is the #1 salmon and trout catching lure when it comes to spoon/spinner type lures.

Nice fishing from a new friend.

caught my first coho last year on a blue box spinner. Do you put any scent on your lures. Also if you do, which ones and how do you clean the scent off

Try Alaska, bring extra shorts! Vibrax size # 4 or 5! Fishing with Kodiak brown bears! Priceless!

I have plenty of lures that have never caught fish. My local academy has too many options to choose from.

Mepps are great lures

Hey, Coho’s gettin started down here in Seattle. I’ve been using buzz bombs, which are great but I’m looking for other ideas. I’m fishing in the Puget Sound off the bank. Anyone got any good ideas? I’d really appreciate it! Thanks 🎣

Present, friends, greetings hobby fishing mania. The river is great. Nice vidio. Always good. Dont forget to stop by for coffee

Is it you on the mepps catalog front cover? Lol

Crocs and crocodile half Oz sise hammered brass or copper surprised you didn't mention them .

what thickness of fluorocarbon do you use for coho salmon?

I’m new to this, what colours should I use at night??

I call it being "prepared" lol

The co dependent of ho

Kaci Path

I often outfits boys with these huge tackle boxes, my go to is a power bait grub on a jig head, I've had it smashed by every species except a sturgeon basically
