curious to hear if the prop will make the whole fly spin with no head weight?

AndyLane · Jul 29, 2013

Yeah I'm gonna have to try it and see. I don't think it should but who knows. It ain't much but it does have some lead wrapped at the head.

Looks good but I also don't know about using a spinner on it. Will be watching for your report on this one.

thats pretty cool. how do you get your hackle wraps so perfect?

Nice looking fly. The original prop bugger is called the Pistol Pete but I don't remember if those had the beads on them. That will catch some rainbows for sure.

It wont spin the whole fly. I tie a bunch of these to use on stocked trout but i use a tungsten bead with lead wraps under the body to make it heavy enough to cast on ultralight tackle...btw nice tie :icon14:
