David Parker 0 Report post Posted April 22, 2018 Interesting idea. There was an article a few years back in Fly Tyer Magazine about spoon flies made from artificial finger nails, the gals have glued to the finger tip these days. IMO, the nice thing about fly tying is that it seems to have endless possibilities. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tjm 0 Report post Posted April 22, 2018 Very nice. Production fast too. Some where I have an old book that suggests using spinner blades as fly rod spoons, his method involved solder, but I would think the blades could be attached with a modern adhesives just as well. My first thought on seeing the plastic spoons was that he would shape them and attach to the hooks. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Poopdeck 0 Report post Posted April 23, 2018 I make my own flutter spoons for shad by soldering an Aberdeen hook to a willow blade. They can be fished with a fly rod or spinning gear. They're a little different from the spoon fly in that the hook eye is soldered on the end of the blade but concept is similar. I like the process in the video simply because it does not involve the use of UV resin. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
