Here are some recycled AOL CD's. Got tired of throwing them away. I've only fished them a few times when fish were biting. Had a couple takedowns but fish came unbuttoned. They look nice in the water. A slow roll with a BIG flash on the underside. I wish I had more chances at ocean salmon this year. I think that's where these would really shine.

I think we may have solved the mystery of, "if I just could get my wobbler to work in this light current?" This could be big.

I posted some pictures of home made fish flashes in the shape of fish, you can do a search under flashers in the gallery, as of today they have put 7 fish in the box at Hammond off down rigger at 25 feet.

For ocean flashers, you gotta use DVDs. Same size, but a lot more capacity. My dad told me that back in his day they had to use 8-track tapes and troll uphill. Both ways.

TB - You done real good there! Very nice. Kinda artistic. You should keep after those things and catch some fish with them, because the ones you do catch will be a lot more fun.

Flashers IMHO are just a way to tangle lines. Sure, I use them, but half of the time they just take up time, and I catch as many fish without them. Discuss

I too have made my own flashers, and they worked well this year in the saltwater, some lexan from home depot and a heat gun worked wonders, just copied the basic delta flasher, and added some reflective tape, why spend so much money when they are so easy to make?
