We know that, to be successful, a lure doesn t have to imitate a living form of aquatic life. Somehow, in a way mysterious to us, a bit of shiny metal spinning through the water triggers the strike reflex in a fish. Most fly fishermen on the other hand, regularly tie their own flies. The answer seems to lie in a couple of areas. For the hardware fisherman the supply of quality components required for assembling spinners is not generally available at the tackle store while fly tying materials abound.
Many people are unfamiliar with just how quick and easy it is to produce a quality spinner.
The other factor that many fishermen don t understand is the cost savings associated with producing their own spinners. It can be made in about 3 miniutes or less and it can be done right on the water with a pair of needle nose pliers as the only tool required. The economics of building your own spinners becomes evident if you ve ever been on a backcountry fishing expidition in Alaska or Canada. Having a good supply of quality components from Aslyn Enterprises in your vest or box is the perfect solution to this dilema.
