FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Who is the inventor of the Hot Spot Flasher?
Jack Gaunt, a proud Canadian fisherman, is the inventor of this unique flasher. He founded Hot Spot in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada in 1969.
 
What does a Hot Spot Flasher do?
A Hot Spot Flasher does three things: First, it creates vibration that attracts fish to your gear. Second, it provides a visual target or stimulus to predator fish. Third, it imparts an action to a lure or bait that doesn't have an action of its own.
 
What is the difference between a Hot Spot Flasher and a dodger?
Dodgers sway from side to side or waggle, but don't rotate. Hot Spot flashers are designed to rotate and will impart much more action to lures, especially bait and hoochies.

Can I use any lure with a Hot Spot Flasher?
Any lure except 5" and larger shovel nose plugs. Plugs create so much drag they would inhibit the Hot Spot action. For lures that have an action of their own, such as an Apex, allow enough leader length that the lure's action is not inhibited by the flasher.
 
What is the best speed to troll at with a Hot Spot Flasher?
A Hot Spot flasher can be trolled at 1.5-3.5 m.p.h. 
 
What colour is best and why are there so many colours?
Colour selection is often an intangible but there are a few guidelines. Glows are designed to be visible in low light conditions or when fishing at great depths. If we think of the water column as a light filter the red end of the spectrum will reflect light as red only to about 30' in saltwater, and then as depth increases, red becomes black. On the opposite end of the spectrum blue and purple will reflect light as those colours at depths beyond a 100'.
