flasher like for salmon, or flashers like for trout?

willow leaf blade seps micro flashers are easily pulled on 4lb test.

I have used the FishFlash and worked pretty good. They claim to have no drag but low at best.


My fav is the Hot Spot mini UV flasher in green.


And for lake trolling I think J is right. They are low drag. Just make sure you get the ones that spin or bend them so they do. I've found them to be much more productive that way.

I have used the above in the little local lakes, with a nighcrawler, grub or plug, all worked at time or another for small planters. sometimes I put a small bullet weight ahead of them. there's only three blades and no rudder.  you can actually cast with them too.

I'm looking for something that will flutter or spin while I'm moving, but it can't have too much drag.  when I'm stopped and it's hanging vertical, I like it to flutter when I raise and drop the line. 

I like the biggest, shiniest set of flashers with at least four flashers up to maybe eight.

well, each blade adds some drag. a willow leaf blade has the least drag. so you can't have 10 big thumping colorado blades and no drag...
