1/10/2012 7:43:00 PMThank you all for your condolences.
I'll see if I can post a picture of Keith's Fancy.
Some background info on the lure.
I along with Keith tied up a bunch of wedding rings before our first day on the water.
You can never be sure what a fish wants to eat.
Needless to say Keith was getting bit 3 to my 1.
I break down and ask what wedding ring are you using as his rod is bent down again.
On close observation, as Keith was reeling in a beautiful 17+ inch Cutthroat I noticed something different about his wedding ring.
He stats "this one is just beads and doesn't have a blade, I ran out of blades for them last night. LOL.
That got me to thinking. Running a spinner blade behind my sling blade causes it to loose some action as the spinner blade has drag.
That night I tied up some beads with out a blade and to top it off added some flash to spruce things up as I do with my spay flies.
Keith's Fancy was borne.
The next day on the water I was hooking fish left and right....... LOL
Please if you tie your own color combos keep the name as I promised Keith we would make this simple lure famous.
Again, I'll attempt to post a picture in the forums for all to view.
Cheers Will
