Besides the Air planes type propeller blades I also have "Colorado" style spinner blades in small sizes that I get from Janns/Netcraft. There are many sifferent shapes and sizes of these blades. some are pointed on the ends and shome are round. Some are bend back and some are flat. I have them in several colors including copper and brass as well as the old reliable chrome. They are great on Bass & Pike flies, (er...lures). But I have also been known to put them on trout flies.
