Revolutionary Tackle: Flash Lite Troll

Mack’s Flash Lite Troll is the most ultralight and low-drag troll on the market. It features 80% less drag than metal blades of the same size, but offers plenty of flash and attraction that makes it the perfect addition to your trout or kokanee setups.

A Flash Lite Troll is a great alternative to a dodger when you want to use lighter tackle, have more precise control over your presentation, and want to troll at super slow speeds. The extra flash can give you the edge you need when fishing deep or murky water or when fish are less active and require more stimulation. 

It has revolutionized the way anglers approach trolling for a variety of game fish. Available in 2-blade, 3-blade, and 4-blade configurations, this innovative attractor offers unparalleled versatility and effectiveness on the water.

The Flash Lite Troll comes in five options:

• 2-Blade: Ideal for smaller presentations
• 3-Blade: Offers a balance of flash and action
• 4-Blade: Provides maximum flash and attraction
• Blade Component: Offers the option to build your own presentations
• Hot Wings: Smallest profile - works well as an attractor for your crank bait

All sizes feature counter-rotating blades that flash light at a 360-degree angle, creating an irresistible visual stimulus for fish. The most remarkable feature of the Flash Lite Troll is its ultralight construction, which produces 80% less drag than traditional metal blades of the same size. 

Versatility in Use

The Flash Lite Troll excels at attracting a wide range of game fish, including salmon, trout, kokanee, and walleye (with the Hot Wing). Its lightweight design allows for use with lighter tackle, making it an excellent choice for various fishing scenarios.

Techniques and Pairings

• Trolling: The Flash Lite Troll is paired with other lures. Use it in front of spoons, flies, or live bait.
  
  
• Depth Control: Due to its low drag, the Flash Lite Troll can be easily incorporated into downrigger setups or used with diving planers for precise depth control.
  
  
• Spread Enhancement: Use multiple Flash Lite Trolls in your spread to create a “schooling” effect, drawing in more fish from a distance.

Attach the Flash Lite Troll to Your Downrigger

Attachment Methods

• Attach the Flash Lite Troll inline with your fishing rod presentation
  

UV Options and Flash Effectiveness

The UV options can be particularly effective in deep or murky water. The flash created by these blades mimics the reflection of light off baitfish scales, triggering a predatory response in larger fish.

The Science Behind Flash Attraction

Fish are naturally drawn to flash and movement in the water for several reasons:

• Curiosity: Fish are inherently curious about sudden flashes of light in their environment.
  
  
• Feeding Behavior: The flash can mimic the movement of smaller fish feeding on even smaller prey, attracting larger predatory fish.
  
  
• Schooling Illusion: Multiple flashing lures can create the illusion of a school of baitfish, which is highly attractive to predatory species.

The Trailing Method

By using the Flash Lite Troll as part of a trolling spread, anglers can effectively employ the trailing method. This technique involves creating a chain of attraction:

• The flash and vibration attract smaller fish and plankton.
  
  
• Baitfish are drawn to feed on the plankton and smaller organisms.
  
  
• Larger predatory fish follow the baitfish, looking for an easy meal.

This cascade effect allows anglers to target and catch bigger fish by essentially recreating a natural feeding scenario.

Component Option

For anglers who prefer to customize their rigs, Mack’s Lure offers the Flash Lite Troll blades in two sizes as separate components. This allows for creative combinations with other lures or the creation of custom setups tailored to specific fishing conditions or target species.

In conclusion, the Mack’s Lure Flash Lite Troll series offers anglers a highly effective and versatile tool for attracting and catching a variety of game fish. Its innovative design, multiple size options, and ability to create lifelike flash make it an essential addition to any serious angler’s tackle box. Whether you’re targeting salmon in deep water or trolling for walleye in murky conditions, the Flash Lite Troll provides the flash and action needed to entice strikes and improve your catch rate.

Quietly Effective.

When fishing is tough or any time you need added attraction to draw in lazy fish, running this in combinaation with any lure will enhance your presentation and take up more space in the zone. Dirty conditions or fish that are lethargic wont help it. The counter-rotating cones of light are proven in many trolling scenarios, especially near bottom or even suspended trolling salmon.

I highly recommend hot wings!!!

I purchased my first Mack's Lure Hot Wings in June (2016) and used them on Strawberry Reservoir the following weekend. I trolled them on my down rigger at a depth of 40' with a Mack's wedding ring. The drag resistance was so low, it stayed on my down rigger clip without any problems. I caught 6 Kokanee with this set up in 2 hours of fishing. I highly recommend hot wings!!!
