In July of 2020, the 3.9" Purple/Black-scale OG2 took a 30lb King out of Sekiu, Washington. That color combination proved to be effective; and, we've sold a lot of 'em.
As a result, we decided to offer that same color in the next size down (3.3") as there are times when a slightly smaller lure seems to trigger the strike. (If you troll the 3.3" and 3.9" side-by-side, you'll notice that the smaller lure vibrates at a faster frequency.) You can get yours now through the online store. Photos below, the 2nd photo shows the size difference between the 3.9" and 3.3" lures.

Dana C. was fishing the white/black-scale OG2 out of Sekiu, Washington last week and landed this nice hatchery king:
Captain Eric and his wife Jan on the G'Day charters out of Valdez, AK sent the following photos of a nice King salmon taken by one of their clients. This fish took the Fluoro-Green/Pink/White OG2 in the 3.9" size.
Absolutely appreciate the report and photos! Washington's Puget Sound offers a resident coho fishery that begins in June. These are fish that remain in the Sound their entire life and never venture out into the ocean.
One of our customers indicated they'd taken resident coho in Washington's MA10 on the fluoro-green/pink/white OG2. Decided to send a couple in the 2.8" size to Captain Drogseth who skippers the Ruby D out of Edmonds. He just emailed me a photo of a client who caught a couple of nice fish today on this lure. Looks like those fish are starting to put on some weight!
We're getting several hundred OG2s ready for rigging. (Just finished clear coating the lure bodies in our paint room.)
Captain Drogseth, on the Ruby D, continues to use the OG2 in UV-Green to put his clients on the fish!
Below are two pictures he provided. One from his outing on Saturday, June 15; and, the other from Sunday June 16. If you want to target the resident coho in Puget Sound, contact Captain Drogseth and charter the Ruby D for a morning! We've added a new OG2 color for salmon fishermen in 2024: UV-Orange Glow with Black Scales.
Your can order yours now through the online store! In June, parts of central Puget Sound, in Washington state, open for the resident coho. (These fish make excellent table fare!)
Just received a report from Captain Dale Drogseth, who skippers the Ruby D charter, out of Edmonds. His clients were successful today targeting these fish. And, their success came with the 3.3' OG2 in UV-Green. He sent a couple of photos which we're attaching below. Absolutely appreciate Captain Drogseth putting our lures to work! For several years now, the OG1, in Green perch, has been our go to lure when fishing for 'bows and browns in eastern Washington state.
Whether Rock Lake, Lake Roosevelt, or any other of a number of lakes in the area, this lure has accounted for a number of solid, big-shouldered trout! Had the opportunity last Friday, and Saturday morning, to explore Washington's MA13 and fish it for the first time in over 30 years. Launched the boat with my oldest son, and oldest grandson, with a goal of getting the little guy into his first fish. That goal was reached shortly after launching as he brought in his first salmon. A pink that took the blue/black-scales OG2 in the 3.9" size. Hooked another humpie and had it come off at the boat. A couple of hours later, hooked a decent hatchery Chinook. That Chinook took the green/black-scales OG2 in the 3.9" size. Headed back to the Pt. Defiance boat house and took care of the fish at the cleaning station.
Saturday morning, we launched again. A bit slower than Friday. But, we managed a hot Chinook on the 3.9" white/green/pink OG2 right around the tide change. About the same size as Friday's. Great fight. Actually came out of the water twice! But, when we got it to the boat, it had an intact adipose. So, we released it. Photos below: |
