Collection: Kokanee & Trout Trolling Rods

Shop premium kokanee and trout trolling rods built specifically for targeting one of the most exciting light-tackle fish in freshwater. Whether you’re fishing with downriggers or long-lining behind the boat, our selection of trolling rods is designed to deliver the perfect blend of sensitivity, flexibility, and control.

Kokanee fishing demands a rod that can handle soft mouths and subtle strikes while still maintaining enough backbone to fight fish effectively. That’s why these kokanee trolling rods feature light to medium-light power and moderate actions, allowing the rod to load deeply and absorb sudden movements—helping prevent pulled hooks and lost fish.

With lengths typically ranging from 7’ to 8’+, these rods provide excellent spread and line separation when trolling multiple lines, while also improving visibility of light bites through a responsive, “noodle-style” tip. Designed for use with lighter line weights (commonly 4–10 lb test), they excel in finesse trolling applications where precision and feel matter most.

Velocity kokanee trolling rods are engineered by anglers for anglers, combining durable composite blanks with proven designs that perform across a variety of trolling techniques. Whether you’re running dodgers and hoochies, spinners, or micro plugs, these rods are built to stay loaded, track fish effectively, and keep them pinned all the way to the net.
