Flasher Size

[Skywatcher]

Plan on making the trip to Lake Ontario soon and am getting the tackle ready. I have flashers and spin doctors in all sizes but want to minimize my tackle if I can. Are the smaller 8" flashers and spinnies something you would run in the spread at this time of year, or just use 10" and larger? Also general color patterns would be helpful. Thanks for any help.

im doing better this season on 8in flashers. not many bites on 10 or 11 inch. good to have both

Thanks, guess I'll throw in the 8's just to be safe.

Better to have it and not need it,then need it and not have it.

Like Dave, 8" paddles have been way better for me this season.  bigger paddles have had their days but 8" have been more consistent.

Have people been using the 8" paddles with meat as well?

That's what I was talking about in my response.

Agreed with 8” on FF but we have been killing them with 11” with meat

I use 11" paddles on my riggers and 8 " spin Dr and pro trolls on my dipsys . 

 

They both work equally well .
