Expanded Description
The Mack’s Sling Blade Dodger is designed to impart lifelike action to your trolling presentation. Its unique bent blade shape produces a wide, sweeping kick that sends vibration and flash through the water while making your trailing lure dart and pulse naturally.
The 4" model is especially popular with kokanee and trout anglers because it matches the lighter trolling speeds and smaller presentations often used in freshwater lakes. When paired with a spinner, hoochie, or trolling fly, the Sling Blade creates an erratic movement that mimics injured baitfish and triggers aggressive strikes.
Fred’s Custom Tackle Tip
At Fred’s Custom Tackle, the 4" Sling Blade has been a reliable kokanee producer for years. When fish get picky, running a small spinner or hoochie 10–14 inches behind this dodger at a slow troll often turns neutral fish into biters.
