FlySlinger's husky musky Fly

[FlySlinger 0]

Hi guy's this Is My Proto type Fly I am going to change it a little... I am going to add much bigger spinner blade and much stronger wire like about 240 lb test and a little bigger beads other than that I am going to leave it alone... I think it is going to catch fish and really think it is going to catch fish, but I want it to get the fish in the boat really Musky are big fish and I want a few of them so I can take Picture of the fish so I can show you guys....I really hope to have this day I am wanting to have, so I am going to up this Flys Strength...

Thats a pretty cools looking fly!! Few questions though. If you going to make everything bigger and stronger why not do so with the hook to; if it was my fly i would use a bigger hook, especially if you targeting musky. Just my opinion. Also, how heavy is it?? What size rod are you using to be able to cast something that heavy??

[FlySlinger 0]

Actually the hook is a darn big hook already...Its a big bass hook with a wide gap and a heavy strong shank......It would take a 9 or Ten wght Fly rod to handle it.....

 

It is pretty thin it is a rabbit skin it isn't made from lead...it will cast I also make this fly into a smallmouth fly it's a hot petunia believe me.....

 

 

Talk to you later

Know that i look at it compared to your vise i do see that your hook is fairly big. How long is this fly in total??

Ive never though of putting spinner blades onto my bigger pike/musky flys, how do you retrieve flys like this?? do you do a constant retrieve to keep the blades going or more of a jerky retrieve?

That hook is too small in my own opinion. Ive been fishing for them for years and use generally 6/0-8/0 hooks.

 

Fish for life.. I use blades a lot for musky. I generally do a two handed retrieve with them to keep the blade thumping.

I agree with Chef on this one, that hook is way to small and will bend very easily by the looks of it, look for something like an octopus hook, they tend to be made with much heavier wire. Apart from that good looking fly!
