I know there have been FAOL articles about adding a propeller type spinner to your fly, and I've read them. Thanks!

But, in the recent Fly Fisherman, Dave Whitlock says that adding a spinner to a woolly bugger or other streamer increases the effectiveness by several times. Smallmouth fishing, of course, but I would fish for trout doing the same thing if it worked.

I'm far from a purist, but I am a dedicated fly fisherman at this point, and I'm probably not gonna spinfish any more, although I have nothing against using a "Devil Stick" per ce.

Does anyone out there have any experience with this -- specifically regarding smallmouth?
