The Pink Metallic Bill Fish Squid combines a high-quality squid skirt with an innovative 1.5 inch bill designed to create an erratic, darting action in the water. Unlike traditional squid skirts that rely entirely on dodger movement, the Bill Fish Squid produces its own side-to-side action, making it an excellent choice when kokanee and trout are feeding aggressively.
The metallic pink finish adds color and flash to your trolling presentation. Fish it behind a Rocky Mountain Tackle Signature Dodger for added action, or run it independently when you want to experiment with a more aggressive presentation.
Why Fish the Pink Metallic Bill Fish Squid?
The Bill Fish Squid is designed for anglers who want more action from their trolling lure. Its inserted 1.5 inch bill creates an erratic, darting movement that can trigger strikes from aggressive kokanee and trout. The metallic pink skirt adds another visual element to your presentation.
One of the biggest advantages of the Bill Fish Squid is its versatility. It can be fished at a range of trolling speeds and produces action both behind a dodger and on its own. During the summer months, when fish are often more aggressive, don’t be afraid to increase your trolling speed and see what the fish respond to.
How to Fish the Pink Metallic Bill Fish Squid
For a proven kokanee and trout setup, fish the Pink Metallic Bill Fish Squid behind a 4.25 inch or 5.5 inch Rocky Mountain Tackle Signature Dodger. The Bill Fish Squid comes pre-rigged on a 30 inch leader. Adjust the leader to your preferred fishing length of 20–30 inches behind the dodger.
- Recommended Trolling Speed: 1.5–2.2 MPH
- Aggressive Presentation: 1.7–2.7 MPH
- Fishing Leader Length: 20–30 inches behind the dodger
- Dodger Recommendation: 4.25 inch or 5.5 inch Signature Dodger
- Fishing Setup: Behind a dodger or independently
When fishing with a downrigger or long-line weights, experiment with running your presentation 100 feet or more behind the boat. This can be especially effective when targeting feeding trout.
Try incorporating broad S-turns into your trolling pattern. Your outside lines will speed up while your inside lines slow down, helping you determine which speeds the fish prefer. Once you start getting bites, adjust your trolling speed to match.
Don’t be afraid to troll fast. The Bill Fish Squid can produce at speeds approaching 3 MPH, and aggressive fish may respond to a faster presentation than you expect.
