Abstract
Disclosed herein is a fishing flasher device which is configured to be attached to a main fishing line to be drawn through the water, generally by trolling behind a slowly moving water vessel. The flasher device has an on-axis mainline attachment on the forward end to produce a spinning or rotational movement about the axis of the mainline. The flasher device also has at least two off-axis mainline attachments at varied lateral offsets from the longitudinal axis at the forward end of the flasher. The off-axis attachments configured to produce an orbiting motion rather than a rotational movement of the flasher device. A trailing line is generally attached to a trailing line attachment point on the rearward end of the flasher device to which is connected lures, bait, hooks, etc. for catching fish.
Claims12
A fishing flasher device comprising:
- a substantially planar main body having opposing transverse sides;
- the main body having a forward end region and a rearward end region;
- an on-axis main line attachment at the forward end region of the main body on the longitudinal axis;
- a second main line attachment at the forward end region of the main body, offset from the on-axis main line attachment a first offset distance;
- a third main line attachment at the forward end region of the main body on the longitudinal axis, offset from the on-axis main line attachment a second distance greater than the first offset distance;
- a trailing line attachment at the rearward end of the main body;
- and
- at least one transverse side of the main body having a highly reflective surface thereon.
