Question is: are Pro-Troll EChip SpinRay Flashers compatible with RSK or FBR?
All of them are rotating while the trolling. Is direction of rotation the same? Could that rotations cause a tangling? How Pro-Troll ECip SpinRay Flashers necessary if RSK or FBR are rotating also and also have own EChips?
Thank you

Good morning I,
I'm embarassed to say that I don't know what "RSK and FBR" is referring to?
If you could fill in the blanks, perhaps we could find an answer..?

FBR is a herring helmet and I'm guessing the RSK is too.

I can't help with the triangle flashers. No experience with em.


I do know that the Echip doesn't make noise when it rotates. Centrifugal force keeps the Ball pinned to one side. But it does work well when it moves side to side.

Hey ING,
Most of the time while trolling we have either in-line or conventional rotating flashers and a rotating bait as well.

Any flasher worth it's salt should have ball-bearing swivels allowing it to operate independently from your terminal gear. In other words, your flasher of choice should not limit choice of terminal gear.

I understand that the Spin-Ray will have the potential to introduce line-twist but it appears to be equipped with two ball-bearing swivels. It should be perfectly compatable with any rotating bait holder you choose.

However, do your ball-bearing swivels a favor and give 'em a blast of WD-40 before their first use and when you're done for the day. That way you'll keep 'em running smooth, increase their longevity and you won't reel in a tangled mess after a long drag....

Thank you very much!
I'll try spinray flasher with RSK or FBR
