info needed on silver horde humpy kit

[The Gobble-stopper]

Anyone know if Cabelas or sportco carrys the Silver Horde humpy kit?  Not the pro troll brand! Lookin to fish from boat rather than combat this year

[lostbackpacker]

Never heard of a humpy kit. I just put mine together every year

Silver horde makes a kit, consists of an 8 inch dodger, tied leader and I believe a pink silver horder fly or shrimp. I think I saw it listed on Salmon university sight

Humpy Special

Sportco should have them, unless they sold out of those too 

Cabela's certainly could have them, 

I have seen them at Fred Meyers.

It's just a dodger and a pink mini-squid. Pretty easy to put together. Dodger, 16-18 inch finished leader, squid, a few beads, 2/0 hook. That's it.Pinks will hit many similar rigs and others far different. Hard to go wrong.

 Humpies aren't hard to catch. When they show up they'll hit virtually anything you put in front of them. Don't fall into the having to use a white flasher and pink hootchie trap.

I catch LOADS of Humpies on standard Chinook and Coho gear.

You can catch humpies on about anything but if you target them specifically you will catch more.

I buy the Gibbs humpy specials when they go on sale (not at peak of pink season prices).  They work great for pinks but the real secret is; you can catch kings and Coho on humpy gear.  I use the white flasher for everything.  IMHO white without any reflective tape out fishes all other colors of flashers.

Yeah....what CP said. I've also caught them on just about everthing else but the plain old standby seems to be the best when targeting pinks.

Thanks everyone for the advice. I do really well on the river, but then again who doesn't? But I'm new to the salt water trick trolling! I have done the browns point thing also and limit everytime I go. Just thought it might be fun to get a few kings or silvers in the boat at the same time.

I hit kings with the humpy specials too.
I usually run a dodger with a green spatter back on one side ans a humpy special on the other.

If that is all you use you are correct it will outfish everything on your boat.. 

Seriously though I think one of the biggest mistakes people make with flashers is the simple fact that they all perform differently. So running two different brands, Or different styles. Even same brand with different gear behind them i.e. spoons vs Hootchies etc. It is more a game of speed. Your speed needs to match the lure / flasher  you are running. i.e. running a coho killer and a hootchie together is not real productive on both baits. If you run the proper speed for coho killer then hootchie is not working and when hootchie is working then coho killer is most likely doing flips when the flasher rotates.

As for flashers for kings I prefer UV but that is just me. Coho.. Just go fast humpies I don't use flashers.
