Common Concerns Answered
How durable is the Everglo finish over time?
The Everglo finish is designed for extended glow-in-the-dark capability. While dependent on charging from light sources, its integration into the flasher's construction ensures robust performance for numerous fishing excursions. Consistent exposure to sunlight or artificial light before use maximizes its luminescence.
What if I prefer a pure dodger action?
The Money Roll Flasher's primary advantage lies in its unique quick-starting, thumping rotation, which differs from the oscillating motion of a pure dodger. For anglers specifically seeking the characteristic dodger wobble, a dedicated Luhr-Jensen Dodger product line would be a more appropriate choice. This flasher excels when a thumping action is desired, especially at slower speeds.
Is the higher price justified compared to basic flashers?
Yes, the investment in the Luhr-Jensen Money Roll Flasher is justified by its advanced features and proven performance, especially for serious anglers. The combination of a quick-starting, thumping rotation effective down to 1mph, UV Bright and Everglo finishes for superior visibility, and premium componentry like ball bearing swivels and welded rings, significantly elevates its effectiveness beyond basic models.
Frequently Asked Questions
What makes the Luhr-Jensen Money Roll Flasher's rotation unique?
The uniqueness of the Money Roll Flasher's rotation stems from its quick-starting, thumping action, which is engineered to engage and produce significant movement at very low trolling speeds, as low as 1mph. This is distinct from the more consistent spinning of some flashers or the oscillating motion of dodgers.
How does the UV Bright finish enhance visibility?
The UV Bright finish utilizes ultraviolet light to enhance the flasher's visibility underwater. It reflects UV rays, which penetrate deeper and are more visible to fish in a wider range of light conditions, from bright sun to overcast skies, making the lure or bait behind it more conspicuous.
What is the benefit of the Everglo finish?
The Everglo finish provides a glow-in-the-dark capability, absorbing ambient light and re-emitting it in low-light conditions. This is particularly beneficial during dawn, dusk, deep-water trolling, or on heavily overcast days, creating a visual attractant for predatory fish when natural light is diminished.
What type of fishing is the Money Roll Flasher best suited for?
The Money Roll Flasher is best suited for trolling applications targeting game fish such as salmon, trout, and kokanee. Its ability to work effectively at speeds as low as 1mph makes it ideal for slow-trolling techniques, including those used with downriggers, planer boards, or inline divers, particularly in clear to moderately stained water where enhanced lure visibility is crucial.
What are the advantages of the premium ball bearing swivels and welded rings?
Premium ball bearing swivels eliminate line twist and ensure smooth, unrestricted rotation of the flasher, preventing tangles and maintaining consistent action. Welded rings provide a robust and secure connection point, offering superior strength and durability compared to split rings, ensuring reliable attachment to your fishing line and terminal tackle under significant pressure.
