If one were to pick the single most
consistently successful lure for all
around fishing in most parts of the
continent, there is little doubt in the
mind of Robert Page Lincoln that the
winner would be the fly-and-spinner
combination in its many forms, shapes
and sizes. This combination is an
absolute killer for smallmouth bass.
Now the attraction of this lure does
not lie in the fly itself but in the re
volving spinner, the twinkle and gleam
of which catches the fish’s eye. It is
the spinner that is all-important, and
the fly is complementary, giving body
to the lure. Os course, the fly’s func
tion is quite vital, too. You can fish
with a bare hook on the spinner shaft
but you won’t catch fish.
There is one qualification Lincoln
makes in the bass fly used on the
spinner shaft, and this is that it be
without wing feathers. The reason for
this is that when a fly is added to the i
spinner it does not seek to imitate a
fly, but a minnow. Why have wing
feathers if the fly is supposed to look
like a minnow? 1
The use of silver ribbing on a fly
with no hackle is a good lure; and a
solid silver-wound body is frequently
a killer. Chiefly, however, you can re
ly on the typical hackled flies in the
regulation patterns such as Coachman,
Professor, White Miller, Yellow Sally,
Black Gnat and so on. For bass these
should be in No. 1/0 size, with either
a No. 2 or 3 spinner to back them up.
The No. 2 spinner is best for aver
age shore fishing, but for flowing wa
ter the larger No. 3 may be better, i
Because spinners in these sizes are
very small, they need a bright finish
to be at their best. This means no
inferior finish is suitable. I think
that if you used nickel or silver en
tirely you won’t miss out on much.
Gold is my second choice. |
As to whether you should use a sin- •
gle spinner on the shaft or a double
(tandem) spinner depends on the wa-

ter. For ordinary fishing the single
spinner is recommended. The tandem
is most useful in clouded water, or ,
in fairly fast to fas* water.
Add a spinner to streamer ilies, pre
ferably with hackle streamers and
with head and optics painted on, and
you double the attraction of the lure.
Fly-and-spinner fishing for pan fish i
has made vast strides recently. Fine
leader tips are needed because the
lures are so tiny. A fly (wingless)
tied on a No. 10 or 12 hook will go
best with a No. 0 spinher on a shaft
for this kind of fishing.

slants of Lefty Wayne Belch and the!
veteran Oscar Hoffard and went down
to a 7-2 defeat.

second and eighth innings, scoring
