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.
