Default Bass Fishing with Flashers

Alright guys,
Yesterday I went out to a lake up near Lake Tahoe and was doing some trout fishing. I did the usual set up, a swivel attached to a String of Flashers and a little leader with a worm hooked up. Then I was thinkin... I wonder if this would work bass fishing. I mean, people use mepps lures and buzz baits that flash to attract fish, why not string a flasher in front of a minnow or a worm??
Has anybody tried this? Im planning on going out to the lake this weekend and giving it a try.

fly got to stop "fishin" at the senior citizen home sir..

basicly you can but you will likely catch more trout.. bass will hit the flasher more than the bait..

not sure what exactly you mean by flashers, however Dr. Jekyl now makes a Swim bait that has a led that flashes every couple seconds ONLY while submerged in water.

A flasher(dodger) is an item that is used mainly in trolling for certain specis such as trout, salmon and steelhea. The flasher is placed above the intended lure or bait and its design is such that it will wobble and wiggle much like a spoon and this action imparts life and action to the lure. It attracts those species already mentioned. It should work on bass too, but to many of us, trolling while effective is most likely not our first method since imparting action to a lure is what we enjoy about bass fishing.

Here is a link to this oval shaped tool.
