About dodgers and flashers

Fishing Dodgers and Flashers for Trout, Kokanee, and Salmon

Shop fishing dodgers and flashers built for trout, kokanee, and salmon trolling. Dodgers add flash, pulse, and side-to-side kick ahead of hoochies, spinners, trolling flies, soft plastics, worms, and small bait profiles when fish need extra movement before they commit.

Start with 4-inch dodgers for kokanee and light-biting trout, step up to 6-inch dodgers when you need more pull and visibility, and use willow leaf or UV dodgers when water clarity, light, or speed calls for a different flash profile.

Best Uses

  • Trout trolling behind flies, worms, minnows, and soft plastics
  • Kokanee spreads with hoochies, spinners, T-Pex, X-Pex, corn, and scent
  • Salmon and landlocked salmon setups that need more flash and attraction

How to Choose

  • Size: 4-inch dodgers give a tighter kick for kokanee and trout, while 6-inch dodgers throw more flash for larger spreads, stained water, and salmon setups.
  • Style: Willow leaf dodgers pull clean at moderate speeds, while wider UV kokanee and trout dodgers create heavier flash and a stronger target.
  • Color: UV and bright colors stand out in stained water or low light, gold and copper shine at dawn and dusk, and silver or natural flash works best in clear water.
  • Leader length: Shorter leaders behind the dodger give the lure more action. Lengthen the leader when fish are wary or the bait is overworking.
Questions anglers ask

What is the difference between a dodger and a flasher?

A dodger kicks side to side and gives the lure behind it extra action. A flasher rotates in a wider circle and creates more pull, flash, and water movement.

Which dodger size should I start with?

Start with smaller dodgers for kokanee and light trout spreads. Step up to larger dodgers or 360 flashers when you want more attraction for salmon, landlocked kings, deeper water, or bigger spreads.

How do I choose a dodger color?

Gold, copper, and bright UV finishes are strong in stained water or low light. Silver, chrome, and natural flash are good starting points in clearer water.

What size dodger should I use for kokanee?

Most kokanee anglers start with a small to mid-size dodger so the flash stays tight and does not overpower a hoochie, spinner, T-Pex, or X-Pex behind it.

When should I use a 6-inch dodger?

Use a 6-inch dodger when you need more visibility, more water movement, or a larger attractor for deeper trout, kokanee, salmon, or landlocked king setups.
