Guest Report post Posted May 20, 2020 I can’t believe this. Flytier done plum fell outa the box👍 🤗👍👍👍 Mine are lil different but push a lotta water and still castable. The bigger blades work better than the least ones. I.e. spin easier. Made them to cast across stream and get to spinning as they swing down for tailwater stocker trout. The big ones are for casting along salty marsh grass for red fish(red drum). A salty critter that likes vibaration especially in dirty water. Gave some to an Arkie guide and he handed me these. Knock yourself out... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

How heavy are thy? They'd work for small mouths on my local water. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
