What is an e chip in Pro Troll Flasher?

Combining Pro-Troll’s revolutionary EChip with the flash and vibration of a flasher, the HotChip Flasher is one flasher that should be in every salmon angler’s arsenal. The EChip sends ionic pulses throughout the water for fish to key on and never wears out.

How fast should you troll with a flasher?

between 2.0 and 2.5 miles per hour

It is the world’s first microchip for bait. The ECHIP attracts fish by replicating the voltage discharged by the nervous system of live bait. The ECHIP is a miniature electronic device that triggers accurate strikes by nearby fish.

Can you run a spoon behind a flasher?

You can also use an agitator flasher in line with a spoon. It just spins like a prop and will not affect the spoon’s action, which means you can use whatever leader length and leader test for this setup. I run small/narrow spoons on a 48-in leader with the agitator flasher.

Which end of the flasher goes forward?

One of the most common mistakes with flashers is trolling them backward. The narrow, tapered end is the front. The taper makes the flasher spin as it is trolled. This is the part you want to tie first to the front part of your leader, which is attached to your main fishing line.

What is a good troll speed?

In general, trolling speeds between 1.5 and 2.5 mph, as measured by GPS, are a good starting place for most species like walleye, trout and salmon.

How does Pro Troll EChip work?

The EChip duplicates the electrical nerve discharge of a wounded baitfish. This discharge is detected by predator fish and they will attack.
