I was thinking about making a couple of inlines for my spin rod. Any suggestiongs on how to dress the hook?

Try just putt actual fly spinners in front of a small streamer. Sounds like a helicopter flying by your head though.

Its a new meaning to chuck and duck. I tried them a few time when I first started flyfishing, then never thought about it again.

The speed spinner has been around since at least the 50's at Bennett. It is a gold blade set over the barrel of a barrel swivel snap and a split ring to keep it there. A brown wooly was the fly. It was very effective and I know the store still sells them, but I have no idea if they still work.

hatchery fish have an affinity for bright and flashy and it's sometimes hard to separate whether a lure or fly is effective or just attractive to fresh fish?

The old Hildebrand spinner for fly rods was a killer for crappie, small bass and perch.flicker-spinner-silver-l.jpg

Today's release is tomorrows gift to another fisherman.

Wayne, Gold spinner with a brown wooly worm fly was recommended by George "Beartracks" Carson I used it in the 70s at Meramec Springs at St James Mo with a spinning rod and a small lead weight on the line. Blakemore also made a 1/32oz Brown Wooly Worm jig that was a trout catcher.

I worked with a guy who always used Hildebrand spinner whenever he used worms or minnows Swore by them
