Give kokanee and trout an aggressive, erratic presentation with the Double Glow Orange Bill Fish Squid from Rocky Mountain Tackle. This 1.75 inch squid features an orange color pattern and a 1.5 inch bill designed to create a unique darting, side-to-side action. Combining Rocky Mountain Tackle’s quality squid skirts with a built-in bill, this lure delivers an active presentation for anglers looking to trigger strikes.
Unlike standard Signature Squids, the Bill Fish Squid has its own built-in action. It can be fished independently or behind a Rocky Mountain Tackle Signature Dodger for an even more aggressive presentation. The double glow design adds another visual element to your trolling setup.
Why Fish the Double Glow Orange Bill Fish Squid?
The Bill Fish Squid combines the proven squid skirt design of the Signature Squid with a 1.5 inch bill that creates an erratic, darting side-to-side action. This additional movement gives anglers a more aggressive presentation and allows the lure to be fished at faster trolling speeds.
Bill Fish Squids are particularly effective during summer when kokanee and trout are aggressive. Fish them behind a Signature Dodger or independently, and experiment with speed and depth to find the presentation the fish respond to best.
How to Fish the Bill Fish Squid
For the best presentation, troll the Double Glow Orange Bill Fish Squid behind a 4.25 inch or 5.5 inch Rocky Mountain Tackle Signature Dodger. The Bill Fish Squid can also be fished independently.
- Trolling Speed: 1.5–2.2 MPH
- Aggressive Presentation: 1.7–2.7 MPH when fish are actively feeding
- Recommended Leader Length: 20–30 inches
- Leader Adjustment: Experiment with leader length and trolling speed to adjust your presentation.
- Fishing Setup: Fish behind a Signature Dodger or independently.
The Bill Fish Squid comes pre-rigged with a 30 inch leader. Adjust the leader to your desired 20–30 inch fishing length and tie it into your dodger setup.
Don’t be afraid to increase your trolling speed. Bill Fish Squids can produce at speeds approaching 3 MPH, especially when fish are actively feeding. Try broad S-turns to fluctuate your lure speed. Outside lines will speed up while inside lines slow down, helping you determine the speed fish are targeting. When targeting trout, whether using a downrigger or long-line weights, try fishing 100 feet or more behind the boat.
