WEEKLY TIP: THE DODGER BEND

ONE OF MY FAVORITE DODGERS TO RUN IS A 6- INCH SLING BLADE FROM MACK’S LURE (PREVIOUSLY SHASTA TACLKE). THIS DODGER ALONE HAS FANTASTIC ACTION AND IS VERSATILE AT MANY SPEEDS, BUT ONE TIP TO ADD SOME EXTRA KICK TO YOUR LURE IS TO GIVE YOUR DODGER A SLIGHT BEND. SLING BLADES ARE PURPOSEFULLY MADE OUT OF A BENDABLE MATERIAL, ALLOWING THE USER TO ADJUST THE ACTION FOR THE SPEED HE IS TROLLING.

WHEN I FISH FOR TROUT, I LIKE TO USE A BEND ANYWHERE FROM ABOUT FIVE TO THIRTY DEGREES. THE SLOWER I AM TROLLING, THE LARGER MY BEND.

TIGHT LINES TO ALL,
