Spin doctor question


Recommended Posts

It is something to try when you are getting "short" hit where they aren't getting hold of the fly.I have made my flies heavier to slow them horizontally once I saw some underwater videos of salmon trying to "catch" the flailing flies that were whipping sideways. My hunch is that they aren't as adept at catching them when they are going real fast while sideways or going around in circles too fast despite being "fast fish" speed-wise. They seem to grab them better on the videos when coming from straight behind or up or down

When I take one out of the package, I always switch that snap to the fast action hole.

X2 ..most of the time.. I switch to the less action hole in the back when I get lots of short strikes , sometimes it seems to help

The front holes swivel is always in 1st hole
