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.
