Run a bare flasher/dodger on a unused rigger?


Recommended Posts

Has anyone had any success in running a bare flasher or dodger on an unused rigger.  At times, I have an unused rigger because our rod limit is used up on other lines.  I'm thinking of running an attractor off the ball of the spare rigger.  Anyone had any success with this?

Commercial trollers in Pacific waters attach with squeeze clips half a dozen or more lines with spoons or dodgers to their cannon ball lines. with about twenty foot of mono and a spoon they handline the fish on board the boat. Check out a video on You Tube of commercial trollers there.

I have noticed at times I have better success with browns in the summer if I use a single flasher off from 1 side with a set of spoons.  All the hits normally come on the spoons on the opposite side as the flasher.  I removed the flasher from the setup and stopped getting hits.  Put it back in and started taking hits on the spoons opposite the flasher again.
