Fairchase Jerry and I did an experiment for an entire season because I'm a dumb frenchmen.lol.He ran horizontal blades and I ran only clean lines,the b#@t@#d outfished me the entire season.I gave in and now run chappy's school of smelt.They really do work well.polebreaker
thank you everyone for posting on a rainy friday night. looks like I will hit the KTP tomorrow afternoon. planning on being on the water a 4:30 sunday morning..
This is how I roll and hopefully with the pic you can see how my setup is. Notice that the release is about 3 feet above the ball so your lure or fly will not hook up with all the flash attached. Hope this helps.

PS I'm gonna buy Chappy's School O Smelt! Someone needs to post a pic of that cause I want to see that rig!
I have the red gold and the coolwater cruiser colors and like koolaid says it doesn't matter much.I run any color lure ,any type lure behind either one with the same success.polebreaker
went to the KTP.
they had luhr jensen school of smelts and moosalok (sp)cable flashers in 3 different sizes. color was rainbow prism and blue stripe.
I will let you all know the out come on sunday night / monday morning..
I run the vertical then the ball then the horizontal... like in the photo above. I made my own umbrella troll rig and personally I think that catches the most fish. But The vertical run with the horizontal is second most effective.
