flasher/fly question

[Chautauqua Tony]

How far back should i tie the fly from the flasher? Should i use fluoro leader material?

A good rule of thumb is twice the length of your flasher. 18-20 inches seems to work pretty good. But sometimes you may have to adjust your lengths.

22in to fly overall length about 3 x flasher length but some do go 22 in to hooks ,some say to use that for a starter and adjust length but i think if you adjust your release to flasher (ft from ball) you will have better results due to action and size of (dia.) circle the spinny does. some may popo this but in the spring i have a better spoon bite not to say the spinnies wont work .i like to run 4 riggers loaded w spoons ,maybe a chunk of lead core down the center toss out the big boards and put out 4 poles per side with some inline and keel sinkers and slide out 2 dypsys to boot ...if I have more than just myself on the boat then ill put out a big spread..

Fly leaders are usualy 50 to60# flocarbon . the stiffness gives the fly the action. Just like me
