Title: Some things new something blue
Post by: gstours on February 08, 2018, 06:24:44 PM
Here is my latest innovation for this year so see what you think?🙈.   I have had some good success using a flasher with the e-chip technology in the last few years, and got to think 🤔 ing this might be useful for my precious king kandy
  So I put together a test plug.   The blue chrome whole herring alone is a very good producer.   Can't wait to launch the maiko and try.......
   What do you think 🧜‍♂️

Interesting Gary, did you scavenge the e-chip from a flasher or do you have a source.

Sorry, I'm a little dense.  What-the-heck is an e-chip flasher Gary?  Thanks.

Is that flasher going to mess up the action?

Gary, I think it might change the action of the lure where you have the chip.  I would have epoxied it on top or bottom of the tail longways.  Have you dragged in the water to watch the movement?  I think those lures do long sweeping turns in the water.  The lure position looks like it would interfere with the flow of water around the lure and keep it from those long sweeping moves that the lure was designed for.  Dominick

Thanks for the interest in my e-chip test plug 🤢.   No testing yet.   Yes it was a first of... it was my thinking that in the center cross ways there would be more turbulence and even more power to roll the plug over?
  Also thanks for your questions.   The e chip is A small metal cylinder with a electric impulse emmiting signal.  Pro troll  makes a flasher similar to the very popular and proven hot spot flasher.   These are great for my 🐟
     Buttt the chip can 🥫 🐝 be purchased separately.   The proof is in the pudding.😛
