Bruce Derington 0 Report post Posted June 17, 2006 Heh guys I've seen the magic heads for front of flies but I'm trying to find something more along the line of a diving vain similar to a "rapala" spoon bill. Does anyone have any ideas, I think it would give a big streamer some great action for those big Browns. You would think theres some site that may specialize on something simple that could be tied in up front Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
flypimp 0 Report post Posted June 17, 2006 Bruce I don't know if its exactly what your looking for but Cabela's has fly wobbler blades that can be tied on the front of fly's like a spoon on the front of a rapala. Never tried one so if you do let me know the results. Flypimp Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HFT 0 Report post Posted June 23, 2006 Your solution= Propeller blades. they are made in 4 sizes. Flatten out twist in blade.Lay on hook so one blade sticks out past eye,tie to hook. bend as desired. tie pattern over. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Redwings1 0 Report post Posted June 23, 2006 I missed this post when I was up north. What I do is use an razor and cut the magic heads in half and the 'paint' the back edge with a very thin coat of epoxy to give it a little backbone...they then work just like diving lips.

Bruce Derington 0 Report post Posted June 23, 2006 Redwings Yeah, that was my exact thought until I made this post and found out about Fly Lipps which are a magic head cut in half. I googled "flylipps" and their they were. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
