It DID spin around in the water, unfurling the leader..But. . this turning over and over in the water drives bluegills CRAZY.. Don't know about trout or other fish...My foam beetles sometimes spin about 3-4 times after hitting the water as well, and they are cut from 2mm craft foam, but that turning a few rounds is all i need to get a fish to hit..Chuck ----- Original Message ----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [email protected] Sent: Wednesday, September 26, 2007 4:12 AM Subject: Re: [VFB] Spinners Wing Material Do you find it twists up your line due to the resistance, like Dono said? IS this the same foam that they pack in electronics such as dvd players?
