I noticed this past season that I had a single Prince Nymph that was more effective than others of the same size. I happened to watch it float past me and it was slowly spinning; its white wings would periodically flash. I am sure it was the additional movement that made this particular fly more effective.

I remembered that I once had a rubber legged popper whose legs would get all twisted when I cast it. It would then 'unravel' causing the popper to spin on the water. The panfish and bass loved (hated?) that popper.

I've been trying to duplicate the Prince Nymph but most simply don't spin like my 'original'. I don't really even know where to start.

Is there anything anyone knows that will consistantly add movement to a nymph?

Thank you,
Andrew
