Michigan Stinger Slasher - Rotating Flasher
The Stinger Slasher is the newest addition to
the Michigan Stinger product line. The stainless steel SLASHER will rotate
through all the necessary speed ranges pulling flies, squids or cut bait. These
rotating flashers are tunable for varying conditions and their compact size
create less drag and easy pulling.
One word of caution, however, the Slasher is
fished differently than other rotating flashers that you may be presently using.
The main point to keep in mind is that the further you drop the Slasher behind
your downrigger the larger the diameter of the circle it will make. For
instance, on a 10 foot lead the diameter of the circle the Slasher makes will be
approximately 24 inches. (This would be the case with most other brands.) On a
50 foot lead, however, the diameter of the circle the Slasher makes might be 15
feet! If this is your deepest downrigger set, this would be an asset but if you
don't keep in mind the circle that the Slasher is making down there and try to
run a clean spoon below it or alongside it, you can see what the results would
be. Basically, if you run it on a lead core or deep rigger you can let it do
it's thing if you want, but if you want to run it back 50 feet alongside other
baits, simply attach about an 8oz. drop sinker, bead chain sinker, or snap
weight 8 to 10 feet ahead of the Slasher. This will keep it rotating in
approximately a 24 inch diameter circle regardless of how far back you want to
run it, and prevent any tangles.
The Stinger Slasher rotates about 50% faster
than most other flashers creating a completely different presentation of your
baits. It can be used with any squid, fly, cut bait rig and yes even spoons!
Each Slasher comes with instructions on the inside of the header card for ease
of use. Available in all the hottest new colors including our new silver glow
finish. Check them out today!
