  • Patent number: 5970648
    Abstract: A flasher designed for use with a trolling assembly. The flasher is fashioned from a triangular blank having a base slightly longer than the two equal legs. The leg portions are bent to form wings, one upward and the other downward along non-parallel fold lines defining a central portion and running from a point on each leg near the apex of the triangle to points on the base. The fold lines form equal acute angles with a line between the points on each leg. The angles of the fold lines determine the speed of rotation of the flasher about its central axis. The upper and lower surfaces of the two wings and central portion provide six surfaces to which are affixed reflective tape panels. The flasher is connected to the fishing line through a swivel attached at an opening at the apex. One, two or three leaders can be attached at openings at the ends and center along the base. A hook with appropriate lure or bait is at the end of each leader.
