Description

The Herring Dodger (ヘリングドジャー) is Luhr-Jensen's versatile trolling attractor, an original Les Davis design. Its hard side-to-side wobble gives off flash and vibration while imparting a darting action to trailing baits, lures, flies and spoons run behind it. It's one of the most popular dodgers in West Coast salmon fisheries.

Construction is welded-ring, with premium plating and polishing for maximum flash; the Prism-Lite finishes are plated on both sides.

Use it ahead of spoons, plugs, flies or bait. This listing is the 5-3/4" (model 5140-020) size, in the Brass/Chrome and Chrome/Silver Disco Tape finishes.

Information

The swimming action

A dodger rather than a self-swimming lure, it uses a hard, welded-ring side-to-side wobble to throw off flash and vibration, transferring a darting action into whatever spoon, plug, fly or bait is trolled behind it.

When to throw it

A classic West Coast trolling attractor for salmon and trout, run out behind a downrigger or diver wherever an added flash-and-vibration signal is wanted to call fish onto a trailing bait.

How to work it

Troll it steadily rather than cast-and-retrieve it, running a short leader back to the trailing lure, spoon, fly or bait so the dodger's wobble is transferred without dampening the trailer's own action.

The setup it likes

A trolling rod and levelwind or line-counter reel loaded with 15-20 lb mainline, run off a downrigger or diver with a shorter leader to the trailing lure, suit this larger 5-3/4" size.
