They also work great for landlocked kings in places like Shasta , Oroville and Folsom Lake . Hot Spot offers a long list of flasher colors and finishes . The basic colors are red , green , blue , white , chartreuse and purple with red and green being the most popular . Finishes include reflective silver mylar , transparent pearl and glow .

Tie on Hot Spot Flashers and Lures for Fish-Catching Results
best tackled with chartreuse , white , purple , red or gold / silver blades Apex Lures come in 7 different sizes from 1 inch to 6 ¼ inches for anything from Kokanee to saltwater salmon . Salmon generally feed on bait in the form of anchovies or herring . It is the active darting movements of the bait that ultimately attracts the salmon . The dodging and weaving of the baitfish creates strong vibrations and predators like salmon quickly detect these . Yet these “ standard ” vibrations may or may not trigger a strike . Research indicates that it ’ s the erratic vibrations created by wounded or sick baitfish that
really trigger the predatory response in salmon and other predators . The Apex effectively duplicates the movements of a wounded baitfish . It ’ s contoured scoop front surface causes a rapid side-to-side shaking action as it is trolled .
