OK, look, it may be a bit on the pricey side, but I bet it catches fish like no other flasher out there!

I heard that this model automatically clean the fish AND does the dishes. Worth it.

Do they not realize priced at $49,999.99 the item sells better? [biggrin]

I bought one, the first time I threw it overboard. I discovered it was not attached to my mainline. Should have bought two, could have saved on shipping. :-({|=

I think that is the economical shipping charge.

I have a small collection of flashers at home. I have the jointed Abe and Al flasher,the triangle flasher,the quick release flasher but in all honesty theres nothing more proven tried and true then the Les Davis flasher. Ive caught more fish using the Les Davis flasher.

Flasher or Dodger? I thought they only made a herring dodger. Is the Les Davis flasher and antique, and before my time ?

Im using the Flasher/Dodger as the same. Les Davis is the herring dodger but mine all shine so I consider them the same tool with different names. Some people say Float some say Bobber. Same thing.

So, a shiny dodger is also considered a flasher in your tackle box? [-(

I know the difference in action but to me they do pretty much the same thing.Dodgers have a slight more bend to them but that also changes action with the speed of your troll.What is a chrome colored dodger/flasher called?.To me its a flasher.Even with the upper and lower bends.JMO.

Its funny . I went through my gear at home and most all my packs said Dodgers on them. I never really knew there was a difference. My question is What is a flasher besides AMX in his overcoat? All this time I called the shiny chrome ones Flashers when in fact they are Dodgers.

Dodgers are meant to be trolled slow and provide a side to side action. They are round on the ends, with the ends slightly cupped opposite of one another. Flashers are designed to rotate and have the ends bent down in opposite directions from one another. Abe and Al, BB are the metal versions of flashers with Pro-Troll and Hot-Spot being some of the plastic versions, think kelp cutter if you remember those.
