About HOt Pursuit Trolling Tackle
Our Story
I'm Mike, owner of Hot Pursuit, and the hands behind the best Great Lakes tackle you will find for your money. After fishing salmon and trout as a child, I rediscovered this passion in 2013. I quickly realized the flies sold on store counters were of inferior quality and the price of "better" products was out of reach for the weekend warrior. After learning to tie my own flies, I consistently improved the style and design until people started asking to buy them. Just like that, Hot Pursuit Trolling Tackle was born. With regular input from charters, tourney fishermen, and yes, the weekend warriors, we've added dodgers, flashers, and other products to our line-up. I absolutely love meeting and networking with new customers and fishermen at all stages - BUT - not as much as I love to fish! If you share this passion, Hot Pursuit Trolling Tackle is happy to serve you
Our Flies
Our 2-inch slider coho flies are where we started and continue to be our most desired and reputable product. With over three dozen stock colors, you'll find the right fly for your port. If you're looking for 4-inch "king" flies, we have a fantastic selection of productive, fish-catching colors as well. All of our flies are hand-tied here in Wisconsin using the most high-quality components and multiple layers of penetrating head cement money can buy, and light, low-profile bodies for more action and better tolerance for low speeds. We challenge you to find a better-constructed, more durable fly.
Our Flashers
As Hot Pursuit flies found their way onto more boats and into the mouths of hungry salmon, customers asked repeatedly for Hot Pursuit flashers to run with them. We invested in high-quality machines and software to design, draw, and cut patterns that are improvements over our competition. Most of our competitors use stock images from bigger companies or cut a 2-inch-wide piece of tape (because it's cheaper), but ours fit the contour of the blade for a finished, professional-looking product that is made to last. We use only proven-quality tape, and all of our painted flashers are finished with an epoxy-based hard clear coat.
