I told my dad I was going to buy a sparkle spinner and he said he would make me one. I was surprised this morning when he gave it to me. Holy shit. He did an amazing job.

i use a SA mastery pike musky 10wt line on my 9wt. it has a short taper and makes casting huge flies easier. going with the heavier line also made a huge difference when casting bigger flies

I going to tie some size 10's for the gills
-
I tried them out yesterday and bluegills were trying to eat them
-
Thanks guys. They are a very simple tie. 2/0 saltwater hook 210 thread Small bead chain eyes Magnum rabbit strips Strung Chinese hackle palmered for the head
-
Just tied these up. I'm going to tie some other color combos tomorrow
-
nice flies PWB. I tie ones similar to that using EP flash instead of the regular EP fiber the gills and crappies kill them during spawning season.

For pike fishing I use a 9wt rod with a 10wt line and the overweight line made a huge difference with casting distance and accuracy compared to the 9wt line. As for materials I prefer using natural over synthetic. The synthetic materials can handle more fish, but I think the natural materials give a better presentation.

I purchase most of my materials from feather craft. they will send you a free catalogue if you request one, or you can order online they have a very knowledgeable staff if you have any questions http://www.feather-craft.com/ -

tidewaterfly The patterns you posted are similar to the patterns i have tied and am going to try this spring. Have you noticed a diffrence in the number of hook ups when using the multi-colored heads compared to using a single color head.
