Hot Spot Flasher

[40PoundTrout]

Possibly a stupid question, but I just bought a hot spot flasher and want to know which end to tie the leader to my bait and which end to tie to my main line?...the website wasnt very helpful.

The flasher is narrower at one end than the other so is the proper riggingt:

A) Narrow end to main line and wider end to lure or

B) Wider end to main line and narrow end to lure

Thanks!!!

I said A

Narrow end forward, leader about 3 times the length of the flasher and your good to go, Big Weenie

Thanks very much! I was on the company's website and they say to use 18 feet from ball to flasher and 42" from flasher...ever use that much line between flasher and cannon ball?

Leader length depends on what you are using . Some cut bait rigs go 60- 72" from flasher to rig. I would say that flies should run a shorter leader. The flasher gives action to the presentation, the shorter the leader the faster the action.
