Before back-trolling in rivers became an official technique it was called Hot Shotting for the revolutionary lure that would forever alter steelhead fishing. With its compact body deep-diving bill and quick wide and aggressive action the Hot Shot has become a staple of steelhead trout and salmon anglers alike. Primarily backtrolled for river steelhead and salmon the smaller sizes are outstanding as trolling lures in lakes or drift-fished lures in streams for trout. For trout fish them behind a lake troll or flat line them far behind the boat on lakes cast them cross-current and allow them to swing through likely holding spots on rivers. Tune each lure for maximum success by making small adjustments to the screw-eye line attachment (if the lure runs to one side slightly rotate the top of the screw eye in the opposite direction). In any application brace yourself for savage strikes.
