There's no way I'm gonna tie wonder wings on a trico for a fish with a brain the size of a pea. I think those wings are more to catch fishermen than fish, but they sure look neat. Bob agrees with me on this. They do spin like the devil when you cast them. I made some wonder wing sulphur spinners once. While they worked, they were tough to see in dim light, and didn't seem to work any better than poly wing spinners. There is info on how to tie wonder wings in the Fly Tier's Benchside Reference by Leeson & Schollmeyer. YMMV...........Ed
