Mark, Not to throw water on anything, but there will be some short-comings to any solid or foam wing material:
1. The tendency for the fly to spin during casting, thus furling and knotting your tippet. 2. On your forward final presentation cast, the air resistance keeps the fly from extending much past the end of the fly line. If you can live with these two drawbacks, and the floatation is a winner for you, hey, go for it- they look great. :o) DonO ----- Original Message ----- From: Mark Beresford II To: [email protected] Sent: Tuesday, September 25, 2007 8:30 PM Subject: [VFB] Spinners Wing Material I thought id share with you what i use fr my spinners wings. http://mayfly-material.com/ its a realy thin foam like material, strong and looks great, and floatations awsome too. they will even send you a very small sample for free on there cite. im just curious to what you guys use and why?
