Megatron and dragon slayer. For cohos Anything orange or bright colored.

I run flashers and flies every single day that I’m on the lake unless I’m brown trout fishing. If I’m salmon fishing I’ll have FF out

you mentioned colors. And we played with it a bit but we're still noobs, same colors on same side to start out. If a color catches, do you change other lines out to match? When mixing flies and spoons, are you all spoon on one side and fly on the other. Or do you have them go on certain lines, like down rigger, boards or dipsy divers. Cheers, much appreciated. Watch your videos twice already lol

Yes every bite you get is a piece of the puzzle. You can learn from every one. Weather that’s depth speed lure color ect. As for mixing spoons and flies I run them wherever I see fit. I don’t not limit them to sides. If I have a certain lure going on one side I will try and mimic it on the same rod on the other side.

I personally do not. Sharpening hooks can’t hurt but you don’t lose fish because the hook doesn’t penetrate you lose fish because of wearing a hole in the mouth or twisting of the fish. As for washing your lures I don’t use any scents so I don’t wash them at all. I can’t imagine that putting soap scent on them is better than whatever small scent they might have from my fingers. That being said I’m very careful I don’t have gassy greasy oily hands when touching lines and lures

I just watched another one of his videos, "the donts", he talks about the speed a bit.

Yes! Thats a good one that I missed.

They don’t make the original any more.

There’s a handful of reasons why I don’t like that method but some people love it. To each their own!

Yep for sure. That’s on the list. Just been waiting until I can get out in the boat so I give a better visual of everything

@@mvpsportfishing If u ever want to fish out of MKE let me know

If you see me feel free to say hi!

No I don’t do that. I run both together on a side. You just have to run the shallower stuff on the outside and deeper on inside. But if you had a full assortment of both copper and lead it’s a good idea to keep them on separate sides. Easier to manage and not get tangled. If I was going to run a 5 7 and 10 color and a 150 200 and 300 copper I would have copper on one side and leadcore on the other. I personally don’t run longer leadcores and I don’t run short coppers. So I’ll run 3 color on outside then 5 color in middle then a 150 copper on inside. Or 5 color, 150, 200copper. Ect. I don’t use any leadcores longer than a 5 color and no coppers shorter than a 150. Makes mixing and matching easier. I’m not saying that’s the right thing but that’s something I could have added to this video. There comes a point you have to limit your how many rods you have if your on a budget or small boat so that’s what I did personally.

Thank you Devin for getting back to me, very thought full on your part. Another question do you matchup your fly color to the flasher color not so much the blade color but the colors on the blade

@@rderus4466 if you watch my video on flashers and flies I talk a bit about that. But in short, most of the time yes. But not all the time.

I use 25# for diver leaders and 20# for board leaders. Both are floro

All you have to do is pull it tight before it goes in the water and it’s gone. I personally do not have the room to store them all with noodles wrapped around them. It’s a good way to do it, but to each their own!

Yeah that is a good point about if you get a bite while your diver is creeping out. There’s things I forget about every video but there will be plenty of overlap and remakes I’m sure. But that’s a good call out for sure!

Everyone has their own things that they have confidence in and that’s what makes it special. Just have to figure out what works for you and perfect it!

I’ll be there this year again!

Thanks! I’m not here to sell you anything or tell you there’s a certain way to do things. I just want to bring some things to light for ppl to think about to get the most out of their OWN program. Things will get more exciting when we can get out on the water and film.

Well I like your style…and you’ve got my attention.

background dosnt matter lol

That was one of the things I forgot to mention. I use size 1 or 2 depending on the brand. I like size 2 2x owners. The addya no cut offs I like the size 1 better.

I certainly think a fish hawk will help you. As for leaders there is no specific rule book that’s going to answer your question. What I will say is if your not happy with your overall flasher production then certainly play around and lengthen them out some and see if it seems to work better for you. Im guessing there are times when 24 works great for you. But if the down current is going the other way and your going 2.7 then maybe that presentation is a little fast. It’s just something that you have to play with to find the middle ground and what works best for you.

A fish hawk is certainly a tool that will help you. Either from a repeatability standpoint for speed but mainly for understanding what the water temps are at depth. As for electronics, side scan is useless out in deep water on the lake. The avg transducers do the job but none of them are great. If your willing with spend 1k on just a transducer I’d recommend a large airmar transducer of some sort. Panoptics is a big thing the last few years thats gaining a lot or traction out on the lake for trolling. I personally don’t have it but I can see the allure of it for sure.

I personally have not used them so I can’t speak too much on it. But what I will say is everything else we use is fake and it works. I’m sure there is a learning curve with it to figure out how to tweak it to get the best results out of it like everything else. I’ve heard ppl say they didn’t like it compared to regular meat but I’m guessing they didn’t put in a lot of time to try different things with it.
