Rusty Spinner

Clone

A spent-wing spinner pattern that imitates the final stage of the mayfly lifecycle when egg-laying females collapse on the water surface. The flush-floating profile with outstretched poly yarn wings is essential during evening spinner falls, when trout sip spent mayflies with maddening selectivity in flat water.
