    Spinner Blades on Flies?

    Anybody tie spinner blades into their flies? I'm thinking about adding spinner blades to some musky flies. Figure It'll grab their attention a bit better. The gear guys use big ass spinner blades; sometimes two of em. Thanks

    Short Strikes, taps, etc. from Coho
