Frequently Asked Questions
What makes the Luhr-Jensen Money Roll Flasher's UV finish effective?
The UV Bright finish on this flasher reflects ultraviolet light, which penetrates deeper into the water column than visible light. This makes the lure more visible to fish, especially in deeper or stained water conditions where natural light is limited.
How does the 'quick start, thumping rotation' benefit my fishing?
The 'quick start, thumping rotation' means the flasher begins its action immediately upon hitting the water and maintains a pulsating, erratic movement. This aggressive action mimics injured baitfish, triggering aggressive strikes from predatory game fish, particularly at slow trolling speeds.
What is the recommended trolling speed for this flasher?
This Luhr-Jensen Money Roll Flasher is engineered to operate effectively at trolling speeds as low as 1mph. This allows anglers to present lures in a variety of conditions and target fish that are less active or feeding on slower bait.
Are the ball bearing swivels and welded rings on this flasher durable?
Yes, the flasher is equipped with premium ball bearing swivels for smooth, consistent rotation and welded rings for enhanced durability and strength. These components are designed to withstand the rigors of trolling for powerful game fish.
Does the Everglo finish on this flasher work in complete darkness?
The Everglo finish is a photoluminescent material that absorbs ambient light and then emits a glow in low-light or dark conditions. While it is highly effective in twilight, dawn, and deep water, its intensity in complete, absolute darkness will depend on the amount of light it has previously absorbed.
