Frequently Asked Questions

What are Mini Downrigger Ball Flashers?

Mini Downrigger Ball Flashers are Uncle Larry's compact version of the ball flasher, scaled for lighter downrigger setups where a full-size flasher adds too much drag. They attach directly to the downrigger cable and throw vibration and flash at terminal depth to pull kokanee and salmon toward your trailing lure.

How do I use Mini Downrigger Ball Flashers?

Clip the mini flasher onto your downrigger cable above the release so it spins at your fishing depth. It adds an extra flash-and-vibration trigger point down in the strike zone while your trailing lure does the catching. The compact size keeps drag low on light downrigger gear.

What colors do Mini Downrigger Ball Flashers come in?

They come in six finishes: Gold, Silver, Gold/Silver, Copper, Black Ice, and Pearl Magic. Bright metallics like Gold and Silver shine in clear, sunny water, while Black Ice and Pearl Magic hold their look in low light and down at depth. Match the finish to your conditions.

What do Mini Downrigger Ball Flashers catch?

They are built for kokanee and salmon fished on downriggers. The flasher generates flash and vibration at terminal depth, drawing fish in from farther out in the strike zone so your trailing lure gets noticed. It adds attraction without loading down a light downrigger setup with drag.

What lure do I run behind the flashers?

Run Max's Spinning Rings behind the mini flasher for kokanee. The flasher pulls fish in with cable-level flash, then the spinning-ring blade and double hook finish the job on a slow troll. Keep your leader length moderate so the spinner tracks just behind the flasher's attraction zone.
