Flashers

In the spirit of ion trails and other random electrical theories. Do you think the flashers with the Echip are marketing hype or valid producers.

Now maybe if you had 50/50 metal flashers or alternated flashers of different types of metal?

I always wondered about those flashers. I have not used them in any quantity to form an opinion.

Jury is out for me. I've tried flashers with dissimilar metal, but didn't really give them a fair shake. I've seen and read about the gear with LED lights and sounding mechanisms. Not sure they'll work and don't know anyone I respect that has tried them. Right now I'm staying with red hot spots with silver mylar.

Really interested to know if the new technologies produce.

I used some last year, I removed the chip though. They work alright, true hotspots may work a bit better. I have a friend who uses them and he likes them, but he's far from a highliner. I have another friend who used them and says hotspots definitely outfish them. I think this year I am going to stick with real hotspots. My .02
