This brings to mind a question I've had for years: Whenever I see spinners, their tails are much much longer than dun tails. When tying your spinner patterns, how do you measure your tails? Do you double them? Do you just guess? Is there a standard length for spinner tails? Thanks in advance for any and all help and suggestions! And especially for your time! :) Marguerite
