Flasher Tips

Here are some general guidelines for trolling with a flasher:

120 feet or less – UV, Glow or Silver can be used
120 feet or deeper – UV only, Glow or Silver cannot be seen in the light spectrum at this depth. Some even say to switch to UV at around 100 feet

Distance from flasher to lure, depending on size of flasher:
Blackmouth(young Chinook) – 24″-32″
Kings(adult Chinook) – 36″-42″
Silvers(Coho) – 18″-24″

We carry both sizes of Hot Spot’s Glow, UV and Silver flashers in all the hottest colors, come check’em out today!

Try attaching your flasher directly to your downrigger ball instead of your line; you’ll fight the fish, not the flasher.
