Flashers to cannon ball?

[Fishhunter?]

I was told you are not allowed to attach a flasher to your cannon ball is this true. I can’t seem to find Regs on it. Fishing Prince Rupert area.

Maybe they meant with a lure attached.

Ya not sure where they got there info. I phoned dfo and yes you can.

Also known as a dummy flasher

Just think carefully about placement of that dummy flasher. You want it sufficiently close to your lure that it attracts fish and triggers a bite, but not so close it tangles with the fishing line and lure. Inline flashers like Agitator that just spin on their own axis are a good choice for this application. You can drop them back 20 ft off the ball so they're closer to the lure; if you did that with a conventional flasher it would have such a large arc it would either foul the line or be too far below the lure to be meaningful.

I only bother when I am fishing for sockeye.

I fish dummy flashers off the ball exclusively. No need to fight a flasher when hooked up. Scotty makes a pre-rigged dummer flasher line but it's too long. Line should be no more than 36inch at the most and run a scotty snubber to the ball. Connect your clip to the top of the snubber to get separation. Clip your line in about 12 feet back from lure....good to go. I fish down the Douglas channel so I assume the regs would be the same.

The size of a flasher arc remains constant once it’s minimum distance (eg 6ft) is achieved

For any given boat speed, I assume?

I typically scrape bottom fishing for Springs.
I would think that would destroy flashers pretty quick ?
