If you don't mind me asking, how far off the bottom do you keep the flasher, how far from the main line do you keep your flasher and how far from your flasher do you keep the bait? Is it a dodger of a flasher? And how fast do you normally pull this rig. I have been wanting to throw a dodger in and try this rig, but I am not really sure how to rig it. Thanks!!!

Beef78, you are right, it was a dodger, not a flasher. I tied the mainline to a three-way swivel. On the bottom eyelet of the swivel I had about 30 inches of mono to a six ounce lead ball. On the middle eyelet I tied about 30 inches of mono to the dodger (size 00). I used a 14" length of mono to connect the hoochie to the other end of the dodger, tying the mono to an "action ring", and snapping the ring to the dodger. This connection allows the hoochie to swing more freely than it would if tied together with a knot. Will try to take a pic soon if that will help. I was surprised at how many different species responded to this rig.

Awesome! I am planning on trying something like that around SD bay tomorrow, I will tell you how it goes. I have been doing very well catching halibut with live bait, but have only caught one much bigger than 22 inches and I managed to let that one get away with my game clip.

Ended up taking my four year old with me to mission bay this afternoon instead of going to SD bay this morning. I was too tired this morning after my 24 hour shift to fish. I ended up with 2 shorts.
