Redwings1 0 Report post Posted November 20, 2007 Interesting idea. You may have to cut a bit of the tag down to get the best proportions, but I like it :thumbsup: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

chrisfish 0 Report post Posted November 22, 2007 Actuly I havn't fish em yet. But they feel heavy. I'm afraid they may sink like a rock and spin like a propeller? If thats the case they may need smaller hooks and a bit of hackle. I'm also woundering if the stiffness of the tail would interfere with hooksets? But they do look pretty neat, and it was Inconnu's challenge swaps that got me lookin for different material options. I have a pack on there way to you as we speak Inconnu. So i hope they float? if not just put one one your hat LOL chris Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guidofisherman 0 Report post Posted November 27, 2007 The wide part of the shirt tag makes cool wings, but I use the other end for eyes and just melt the tips a bit for crayfish, scud and small nymphs etc. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zach Bearden 0 Report post Posted December 4, 2007 Just a suggestion, if they sink why not fish them as a Drowned Spinner and say that it was the way they were intended to be fished. jk Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
