Thank you Tim (barnett.23)! Those definitely should work! That first one- the yellow and black "bee" or "grasshopper" ought to be a killer on some panfish! I may make a few spares to use! The spinner-- nice work! Very curious to see what that spinner on the swivel, on the shaft does in the water! Great idea you got working there and thanks! They're better than my first attempts, that for sure!

Couple tips for you- go to a craft or sewing store and look for crewel yarn or cross stitching yarn-- cheap, all kinds of colors, and makes perfect bodies on flies.

And look for cards of wool or synthetic yarn. Cut of pieces and flare out or separate the individual threads- kind of brush it out. that stuff makes great wings on flies.

Also check out the jewelry making department for "fancy" beads to use in your bodies. try to get metal ones and look for "assortments", they're usually cheaper. Fly tying and lure making does not have to be expensive!

I'll be getting back to you- now take some of those flies out and catch some fish! Nothing like catching them on your own flies! Thanks again--- Best---- JoeW

That is some fine work.
I am waiting for a lure makeing kit I ordered
last week. My 10 year old daughter and I are going to try our hane at
making some spinners.
I hope they turn out as nice as DB'S spinner.

And Tim--- if you want to make spinner lure making a real pleasure, get a Netcraft wire bender! And you need the book of directions and you can use a coil of wire, too. Unfortunately, it'll run you around $28, but definitiely well worth it! Link is below.

I've had mine since I was a wee tad and it works just fine! A little tricky until you get the hang of it- but perfect loops every time! Have fun- Best----- JoeW

That spinner looks like it could be cast with either a fly rod or ultra light spinning. Nice looking work!
