Field Notes

This is a trolling dodger used to add flash and wide swinging action ahead of bait or a lure. It is especially useful at slow trolling speeds where the pulsing action can help trigger salmon and other cold-water fish. Best fished as part of a trolling spread rather than cast and retrieved.

Pros

  • High flash and strong reflective finish
  • Wide swinging action at very slow trolling speeds
  • Includes quality hardware like swivel and snap

Cons

  • Requires trolling setup and trailing bait/lure
  • Large 8-inch size is not ideal for light tackle
