Crucifish tandem dummy flasher - opinions/experiences?

[Saxe Point]

Came across this on the internet. I use “regular” dummy flashers exclusively but I am curious about these “Crucifish” flashers.

I would be grateful for anyone’s experiences and/or opinions about these. They are quite expensive, but they seem to be well made with stainless steel hardware.

I just spent a solid month in waters that were infested with springs. It was what I call “stupid” fishing. I fished exclusively with a dummy flasher. After a hook-up, the drill was to use a boat hook to immediately get the flasher out of the water so the fight was in “clean” water—- pinks, coho and springs are notorious for tangling up in the cable going to the dummy if you don’t get it out of the water

I see a alot of hardware hanging off the ball on that CRucifish set up ....ya, I’m sure it works—-lots of things work that get a fish’s attention but think about keeping it clear of kelp—-it looks like a garden rake for once you get around kelp beds and I sure wouldn’t want that thing hanging in the water while fighting a fish

I get more bang for the buck on the attention-getting drill with just one dummy flasher teamed up with multiple willow blades spinning on my clip connection

This one from students at Nakusp does not seem to make the cable drag as much. Someone on here had one and lost it but thought it worked well. They were at the boat show. It was quite a bit less than the Crucifish, but might have been a boat show special.

Looks super unnecessary. A regular 11” blade off the ball does the job and is cheaper and easier.

Exactly. K.I.S.S. Another product designed to catch fisherman and not fish.
