Available in **3″ Gold Plate and Silver Plate** versions (weighing **3/5 oz**), this lure excels in clear and stained waters. But how do you choose the best option for your next fishing trip? Let’s break it down.
## **Understanding the Lake Clear Wabbler Flasher**
The **Wabbler Flasher** is a classic trout trolling lure that combines **flash, wobble, and vibration** to attract fish. Its unique design includes a **concave metal blade** that creates an enticing wobble, mimicking injured prey. The **3″ size** is ideal for targeting **rainbow trout, brown trout, and even kokanee salmon**, while the **3/5 oz weight** ensures a stable trolling depth without excessive sink rate.
### **Gold Plate vs. Silver Plate: Which One to Choose?**
The two finishes—**gold and silver**—serve different purposes based on water conditions and light penetration.
#### **1. Gold Plate Wabbler Flasher**
– **Best for:** Stained or murky water, low-light conditions (dawn/dusk), overcast days.
– **Why it works:** Gold reflects warmer tones, standing out in darker water where visibility is reduced.
– **Ideal for:** Deep trolling in lakes with moderate algae or tannin-stained water.
#### **2. Silver Plate Wabbler Flasher**
– **Best for:** Clear water, bright sunny days.
– **Why it works:** Silver mimics the natural flash of baitfish and blends well in high-visibility conditions.
– **Ideal for:** Shallow trolling or when trout are keyed in on smaller, shad-like prey.
## **Key Factors When Choosing Your Wabbler Flasher**
### **1. Water Clarity**
– **Clear water?** → **Silver Plate** (subtle, natural flash).
– **Stained/murky water?** → **Gold Plate** (high contrast, better visibility).
### **2. Light Conditions**
– **Bright sun?** → Silver’s reflective properties prevent spooking fish.
– **Cloudy/low light?** → Gold’s warm hue increases attraction.
### **3. Trolling Depth & Speed**
– The **3/5 oz weight** allows for **consistent trolling at 1.5–3 mph**, keeping the lure in the strike zone.
– Pair with a **leader (18–36″)** and a **bait tip (worm, maggot, or corn)** for added effectiveness.
## **Pro Tips for Maximizing Success**
– **Vary your retrieve:** Slow, steady retrieves work best, but occasional pauses can trigger strikes.
– **Adjust leader length:** Longer leaders (24–36″) reduce wariness in clear water.
– **Combine with attractants:** Adding scent (like anise or krill oil) can enhance bites.
