Flashers : Putting Trout in Boats for Over 100 Years !
Flashers or more correctly , “ lake trolls ” have been a cornerstone tool of trout and landlocked salmon trollers for at least a century . When all else fails you can slow troll a fly or threaded worm behind a set of flashy , jangling , rotating blades and you ’ ll likely hook up … This tactic worked for our great granddads way back when and it still works today .
Like dodgers , flashers are attractors . Their job is to attract trout and salmon close enough to see your trolled lure or bait . They accomplish this task by putting out vibration and flash .
A New Twist on The Iconic Ford Fender
Originally fashioned in the 1930 ’ s from the headlight reflector of a Model A Ford , few fishing products in the world have as glorious a history as the Ford Fender Lake Troll . Trolled at slow speeds , the Ford Fender produces maximum flash and vibration that draws fish from extremely long distances . Experiment with distances of 18 ” to 48 ” between the Ford Fender and trailing lure as sometimes fish come right to the troll and other times they like the lure back a bit further . Needlefish , Super Dupers , small Hot Shots and similar are all excellent lure choices behind a Ford Fender .
Traditionally Ford Fenders featured all metallic blades in chrome , brass or chrome and brass with a flat or hammered surface .
New for 2018 the team at Luhr Jensen has announced the addition of several new colors for the Ford Fender line including pink , chartruese and blue . These colors are sure to be a hit throughout California when anglers hit the water in search of trout and landlocked salmon this spring . For more , visit Luhr Jensen online at www . rapala . com .
