Pro tip# 4896709 
Using a very light action rod imparts a ton of additional action on your presentation.
I don't know the reason but It makes a huge difference.
I have an old yellow eagle claw ultra light spinning rod I use. It will catch 4 times the amount of kokes that all the other rods in the boat will. It's such an amazing Koke rod that I have retired it only to be used as a trolling koke rod.
A secondary benefit is the limber rod helps avoid the fish pulling out the hook when they decide to freak out at the boat. Hooks more fish and lands more fish.

Use a setup with dual hooks. I love the double wammy wedding rings. That second hook makes all the difference on a take down vs a hook up.

Good luck to You, those baby size sockeye sure are a blast to catch.

I didn't even answer your question. Dodger 100% of the time.

Flashers and Dodgers are not the same but look very similar.  They impart a completely different action to your presentation.

Eagle claw actually remakes those now sportco $19 the “ Kokanee “ series!

A lake troll most times followed by a Kokanee Killer lure. I change the lure color depending on what’s hitting, but they all include pink to some degree.

I have never had to fish deep for Kokanee in Washington. I use a 1 oz banana sinker and adjust by pulls as needed. At Dworshak reservoir in Idaho we would use weighted line on occasion with the 1 oz weight. Never had to in Washington lakes. I use to swear by downriggers for Kokanee as well. After a couple of seasons checking my logs, I removed my downriggers when we saw no increase in catch/keep rate of Kokes.
I also found a minnow bladed flasher string followed by lure, was more productive then flashers in a few Washington lakes. But like all things Kokanee, that can change in a flash. One minute the rod with the Minnow blades is catching, the next the solo Double Whammy is catching.
The biggest difference I saw in keep rate was using a snubber and always, always switch out all hooks to Gamakatsu.

I'm a dodger guy,  followed by either KCP, Frank's Fly,  hoochie with wiggle head 

I do have to admit, the RM plankton are amassing too.

I like sling blades. Put a little bend in them. Followed by a crappie jig or hand tied flies. Much cheaper than hoochies.

Blades and fast limit dodgers I use the most. Brads mini cut plug work as well.

 First outing of the year produced 2 nice limits on green dodgers and green hoochie with spinner.
