Shoal Flasher for Spearfishing in Low-Visibility Conditions

The Shoal Flasher is designed to be especially effective during spearfishing dives in low-visibility conditions. The vibrations generated by the flasher attract fish before they can even detect it visually, encouraging them to approach the diver.

For proper use, the Shoal Flasher requires a dedicated flasher buoy, sold separately.

Functions and Technical Features

• Attraction through vibrations: encourages predatory fish to change course and investigate the source of the vibrations.
• Increased sightings: increases shot opportunities while spearfishing.
• Recommended positioning: between 6 and 12 meters deep, within the spearfisher’s line of sight and with enough water column between the flasher and the surface to maintain the fish’s interest.

Spearfishing Usage Guidelines

1. Install the flasher in the dedicated flasher buoy.
2. Place the flasher at a depth between 6 and 12 meters, keeping it clearly visible to the spearfisher during the dive.
3. Make sure the flasher is positioned to take advantage of the limited available visibility and maximize fish attraction through vibrations and flashes of light.

Important Notes

• The effectiveness of the Shoal Flasher depends on correct positioning and integration with the flasher buoy.
• It is essential to comply with current regulations regarding the use of flashers while spearfishing, as use outside the guidelines may be non-compliant.
