Frequently Asked Questions
Write to me and let me know if you have questions. I will try to write up some of the most common ones here.
Q: What Speed will
make the flasher spin?
A: Typically a full rotation of the flasher is achieved at 1.5 MPH
Q:Why is UV
important?
A: While somewhat controversial, it is commonly accepted that fish
can see the UV spectrum of light that we cannot. This UV light
is documented to be available down to 700' deep. This can give
you an edge when fishing deep or in cloudy or turbid water.
The way I look at it is this... if the gear does not cost you
any more (and ours does not), why not use it to take advantage of
the possibilities.
Q: What color
flasher is the best to use?
A: It all depends on the water conditions you are fishing in.
The rule of thumb is to use a similar color flasher as the
water you are fishing in. In Puget Sound, we typically use a
green flasher, and Green Glow has been my best seller historically.
Q: Are all your
flashers UV?
A: Currently, we are producing all our White, Chartreuse, Dragon, Haze and Red
flashers in UV. Green will become UV sometime in 2009.
Q:
What's the difference between your flashers and
the "No drag" triangle style?
A: When you catch a fish on the triangle style flashers, they remain
attached to the main line at the front and back of the flasher.
When the fish runs from side to side, that flasher creates a
dragging force on the fish that creates undue stress and even makes
the hook hole larger. The fish can then double back and use
the flasher as leverage to remove the hook. With our flashers,
the back of the flasher breaks away from the line and enables the
hook to remain seated firmly in the fish allowing more fish to come
to the boat.
Q:
Do your flashers "break a way" due to seaweed?
A: No, they only disconnect when the fish strike. There
has to be a separation between the flasher and the lure for the
flasher to "break a way".
Q:
Do you sell directly?
A: I prefer that you go directly to one of the
stores that sell my products, however if timing is critical,
e-mail
me and I will see what I can do.
