Scent Releash Flashers: Alternative to Chumming

With regulations increasingly banning the use of chum in many fisheries, gear that gets scent into the water has become essential for success.

Mack’s Lure has long been known for its popular trolling attractors like the Sling Blade and the Double D Dodger, and the innovation continued in 2022 when the company released its patented Scent Flash UV Triangle Flasher and Scent Flash UV Paddle Flasher, which quickly made their way to the tackle boxes of experienced fishermen looking for a legal and viable alternative to chumming.

Patented Scent Release System

Unlike traditional flashers, the Mack's Lure UV ScentFlash Paddle Flasher and Scent Flash UV Triangle Flasher snap open to reveal a scent release chamber for adding your favorite scents or baits directly into the flasher where it will rotate of spin in the water to draw in fish from far and wide. 

How to Use the Scent Chamber

To open the scent chamber, unsnap the lid from the flasher’s body, apply your chosen scent or bait, snap the lid back in place, and start trolling. The scent release system ensures a consistent and effective dispersal of scent, drawing in salmon from greater distances. 

SPIN ACTION:  The Scent Flash UV Triangle Flasher spins in the water in a vibrant central axis pattern.

ROTATIONAL ACTION:  Scent Flash UV Paddle Flasher rotates in a slow 360 degree, 4 foot diameter rotational pattern in the water for a larger pattern of dispersal. 

Fill the Chamber with Your Favorite Scents

- Oil-packed tuna
- Herring or sardine filets
- Ground-up fish
- Nightcrawlers
- Corn
- Bottled scents and gels

The scent chamber is designed to ensure a prolonged and consistent release of scent, making it more effective at attracting fish. 

Upgrade - Premium Scent Flash Pads

To enhance the effectiveness of the scent chamber, Mack’s Lure offers premium scent flash pads, sold separately in four-packs. These pads are perfect for holding and dispersing your chosen scents, ensuring a long-lasting attractant in the water.

Tune Your Spin - Paddle Fin/Rudder

One of the standout features of the Scent Flash UV Paddle Flasher is its removable paddle fin or rudder. This allows you to tune the action of the flasher based on your fishing conditions. Most paddle flashers become useless once their rudders or fins break, but with the Scent Flash, you can simply replace the fin if it becomes damaged or lost. Additional paddle fins are sold separately, allowing you to customize the action of your flasher to suit different fishing scenarios.

Add Visiblity - High UV Body Colors and Reflective Tapes

The Scent Flash UV Paddle Flasher is available in two highly visible UV body colors—UV Chartreuse and UV Clear. These colors are designed to catch the eye of fish even in low-light conditions. The flasher also features very reflective, double-sided tapes, which add an extra element of flash to attract fish.

Versatility and Durability

The Scent Flash UV Paddle Flasher is designed to withstand the rigors of fishing while providing unmatched versatility. Whether you’re targeting salmon in the Pacific Northwest or other game fish, this flasher is built to perform. Its transparent body and UV colors make it effective in various water conditions, while the scent chamber and removable fin offer customization that other flashers simply can’t match.

Upgrade Your Tackle Box with Gear that Works

The Scent Flash UV Paddle Flasher is more than just a flasher; it’s a complete scent releasing system that combines scent dispersion, customizable action, and high visibility to give you an edge on the water. Whether you’re a seasoned pro or a weekend warrior, adding the Scent Flash UV Paddle Flasher and Scent Flash UV Triangle Flasher to your tackle box will revolutionize your fishing game.
