Remember too guys that a lot of fly only waters those flys are illegal to use or have in your possession. Also if you are worried about shiny what about the use of flashabou tinsel, beads ect?

Feelings are mixed, and it's up to one's own feelings if they want to use them. I have two propeller deceiver flies from Pete Parker that he says are killer on baracuda. I've never tied with them myself- I get more satisfaction knowing my fly caught the fish rather than a shiny blade that I had nothing to do with, but that's personal. I've seen one pattern that is a blade tail, 3 pearl beads, and a propeller up front. It's tied, but is it a fly? Up to the fisherman.
