Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Brad's 360 Evolution Flasher?

The Brad's 360 Evolution Flasher is a rotating trolling flasher that spins a full 360 degrees to throw flash and vibration. Run it ahead of bait or a lure on a slow troll to pull salmon and trout in from a distance. It comes in four colors.

How do you fish the 360 flasher for salmon?

On the Columbia River, the crew ran big Brad's 360 flashers with shrimp and limited on spring Chinook two days straight. The flasher is a slow-troll attractor. Run it in front of a bait or lure so the rotation calls fish in, then they eat the trailer.

Does the 360 flasher work for trout too?

Yes. At Folsom Lake, guides slowed to about 1.5 mph midday and ran big Brad's 360 flashers with a pink Trix Worm for rainbows holding up top. Earlier they trolled them down 55 to 60 feet. The 360 spin adds visibility in deeper or stained water.

What colors does the 360 Evolution Flasher come in?

It comes in four colors: Shyner, Margaritaville, Stenston, and Chewit. Pick brighter, higher-contrast patterns for deep or off-color water and low light, and more natural tones when the water is clear. Guides run the big 360 for both Chinook and trout.

What do you run behind the 360 flasher?

A soft bait trails well behind it. At Folsom Lake guides slowed midday and ran big Brad's 360 flashers with a pink Trix Worm 3 inch soft bait for rainbows. The flasher's rotation draws fish, and the trailing worm seals the bite.
