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

 

[AndyLane]

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.

 

[PanfishHunter]

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:
