Greg C Posted August 30, 2009 Report Share Posted August 30, 2009 i have been having success with them. i ordered 6 and have only 2 left. does anyone else use them? have you made your own with the spinner kits? rich m Can you post a pic, or a link to one? Generally, I don't use spinner flies, as they tend to twist the tippet. And, without wanting to open a can of worms (no pun intended), I find that for most of them to be effective, they are too heavy to cast. Or, the blade makes them unwieldy to cast. There are, of course, exceptions. BUT, that does seem to be about 90% of them. If you are talking about the kind that has a tiiiiny little blade, or prop, they can be cast easily enough, but then the blades are generally too small to be of much value.

Guest rich mc Posted August 31, 2009 Report Share Posted August 31, 2009 if you google pro whirley bee or slider.com it will go to fishingworld which is connected with charlie brewer. it is a lead head like the flat slider with a tail spinner. a fly would be similar to cowans coyote, blade is less than 1/2 inch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonn Graham Posted August 31, 2009 Report Share Posted August 31, 2009 I have used them in the past and basically caught many different species on them. Smallies and white bass really seem to like them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg C Posted August 31, 2009 Report Share Posted August 31, 2009 Sorry, since the poster is a fly fisherman, I thought it had to do with slyfishing. That that and the name "whirly BEE". My bad. Guess I should have known better seeing the name Brewer attached. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
