Having trouble with getting the attaching a photo to the message but below is a link to a page that shows the black blade flasher--again this is the in-line low drag, spinning type--with the UV tape on it. http://www.spinnerdavetipstactics.com/technique-tips.html

I am a long way from your waters here in Alaska but I (and fellow king/coho anglers) have found over the last few years that UV is definitely a plus. We don't do the deep thing as much as you guys do but in 60 plus foot water, I personally don't think you can have too much UV. We use the no drag/inline flashers the most here and the best one, by far is a black base with uv tape-- the "money" flasher has been chartreuse UV tape over the black base. My finding is that the shallower you go, unless it is really murky water, UV becomes less of a factor than just good contrasting colors...my 2 cents...

Captains, I am a long ways away here in Alaska but have been snooping and gaining some good insight on down rigger fishing and utilizing flashers--a newer part of my methods for fishing for kings an cohos up here. I do a lot with spinners and spoons and have an online component business that I hope to get advertising very soon on this site. Hoping to be able to get some more detailed insight on flashers and rigger fishing if you guys can handle some lame, newbee questions once in a while. Thanks...
