dryfly purist 0 Report post Posted March 8, 2013 Spent may fly spinners on curved hooks :-) .... i heard a rumor that spent spinners on curved hooks works really well so i had to tie a couple. To be honest i don´t think it will work any better than spent spinners on straight hooks but i will certainly give it a go to see for myself :-) Spent kapok spinner with krystal flash rib spent kapok spinner with krystal flash rib from underneath spent biot spinner with green krystal flash hot spot Spent woven spinner :-) This one is for the times when the spent spinners are almost drowning and lies very deep in the surface :-) Spent woven spinner from underneath :-) Spent body quill sulphurea spinner :-) .....Hends body quill in two colors for body and orange Krystal Flash for hot spot :-) Terje Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nope, no cdc on my spent spinners :-) :-) :-) Thanks :-) The last one has Hends Body Quill for the abdomen. It´s a synthetic tread that is great for bodies in no hackle may flies and also for body in spent spinners. Very light, nice shine in the tread and very easy to wind around the hook. Great stuff :-) :-) Terje Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
