I don't know a salesperson who doesn't appreciate the naive buyer to help move old stock along. It helps to have a contact name though, thnx. I'll keep working on it.

I don't think a negative attitude is appropriate when dealing with those individuals. They give pretty decent advice

Yeah - point taken on this one. I will be sure to avoid any negative attitude when I seek assistance from these guys.

You can use a rotating dummy flasher like the "Hotspot Agitator" or a Delta "Fishflash"off the lower clip and 5 feet back. Then run the spoon by itsself 5 feet above the dummy and 6 feet behind it. Same colors apply for the dummy flashers for Chinook. I like to use 30lb leader for 4" spoons. For hoochies no, less than 40lb test behind flasher....you can go 50 or 60 lb.test on hoochies....you'll get a much better "whip" action.

When might you want to use a dummy flasher set up - I can see the action wouldn't be improved on the lures at all.

A dummy flasher can be used when the fish are thick. Or, when there are bigger fish in stained water and its nice to play fish w/o the flasher drag (although using a Farr Better Flasher can be a substitute). Or, when using BIG spoons, plugs and teaser heads. There are other situations but those are the main reasons for a dummy.
