# **How to Choose High Percentage Salmon Trolling Flies: Flash Bulb Series Pack Of 3-4″ (Unrigged)**
Salmon trolling is an art that requires precision, patience, and the right gear. Among the most effective lures for targeting salmon—especially in open waters—are trolling flies. The **KyleBooker Flash Bulb Series** (Pack of 3-4″, Unrigged) stands out as a high-percentage choice for anglers looking to maximize their catch rates. In this guide, we’ll break down why these flies work, how to select the best ones, and tips for rigging them effectively.
## **Why Choose the Flash Bulb Series?**
The **Flash Bulb Series** is designed with key features that make it irresistible to salmon:
1. **Ultra-Reflective Flashabou & Mylar** – The built-in flash mimics the natural shimmer of baitfish, triggering aggressive strikes even in low-light conditions.
2. **Durable Construction** – Made with high-quality synthetic materials, these flies withstand repeated strikes and harsh saltwater conditions.
3. **Optimal Size (3-4″)** – Perfect for imitating juvenile herring, sand lance, and other forage fish that salmon actively hunt.
4. **Unrigged for Customization** – Allows anglers to pair them with their preferred hooks, swivels, or flashers for maximum versatility.
## **How to Select the Best Colors for Salmon Trolling**
Color selection can make or break your trolling success. Here’s a quick breakdown of the best **Flash Bulb Series** hues based on conditions:
– **Green/Glow** – Ideal for murky water or overcast days; the UV-reactive glow enhances visibility.
– **Blue/Silver** – Mimics baitfish in clear water and works well under bright sunlight.
– **Pink/Chartreuse** – A killer combo for aggressive salmon, especially in stained or deep water.
– **Black/Purple** – Excellent for low-light periods (dawn/dusk) and deep trolling.
**Pro Tip:** Always carry multiple colors and switch them out if fish aren’t responding.
## **Rigging the Flash Bulb Series for Maximum Effectiveness**
Since these flies come **unrigged**, you have the flexibility to customize your setup. Here are two proven rigging methods:
### **1. Behind a Flasher (Most Popular)**
– Attach an **8-11″ rotating flasher** (e.g., Delta or Pro-Troll) to your mainline.
– Use a **36-48″ fluorocarbon leader** (20-30 lb test) between the flasher and fly.
– Tie the fly to a **stinger hook (2/0-4/0)** for better hookup ratios.
### **2. Straight-Line Trolling (No Flasher)**
– Ideal for spooky fish in clear water.
– Use a **48-72″ fluorocarbon leader** with a **weighted downrigger or diving plane**.
– Add a **small dodger** if needed for extra attraction.
## **Trolling Speed & Depth Tips**
– **Speed:** 1.8-2.8 mph (adjust based on salmon activity—faster for aggressive fish, slower for lethargic ones).
– **Depth:** Vary between **15-60 feet**, depending on thermocline and baitfish location.
## **Final Thoughts**
The **KyleBooker Flash Bulb Series** is a must-have for any serious salmon angler. Its combination of flash, durability, and customization makes it a high-percentage choice in any trolling scenario. By selecting the right colors, rigging them effectively, and adjusting your trolling technique, you’ll significantly increase your hookup rates.
