ActionDisc - Trolling Fly & Tube Fly Rigging Tips

Classic Trolling Flies

To use ActionDiscs with trolling flies, just slide the disc on the line before you tie on the fly. We recommend using a bead between the disc and fly to eliminate any abrasion to your knot.

You can also use a SlideLock stopper to adjust the distance between the fly and the disc allowing you to change the action of the fly. Click the SlideLock link for details.

Tube Flies

Tube Flies have many advantages

over other lures:

  • They have a fluid swimming movement you can't get with hard bodied lures.
  • Tube Flies can be cast or trolled for a wide range of gamefish species.
  • You can easily change hook size and style, to meet local regulations.
  • You can fish a long bodied fly with a short shank hook. Short shank hooks are
    harder for a fish to throw.
  • Tube Flies are free to slide up the line when fighting fish, saving wear & tear and allowing the average fly to out last soft plastic baits 10 to 1.

Spin Casting Flies

ActionDiscs allow you to cast flies with a spinning rod just like you would a spoon or spinner.

Put a sliding egg weight on your line, slide on the ActionDisc and tie on your faviorite fly. This has become my faviorite way to fish rivers for trout and bass.
