Pistol Petes and Spin Tail Flies

[JapanRon]

Hi TubeDude,

When I first saw the pics a very small smirk developed in my contenence, then it hit me. When looking at fishy food, ya gotta put yourself in the fishys place. How many times have I had to relearn that! ha ha

I just wonder how well those spinners or pistol petes would do in the the surf. Imagine, the wave/surf goes out, you don't retrieve line but tantalizingly jig the tasty morsal at just the right depth above the depression or trough you know holds those cruising 3lb corbina or slab perch. The telltail dorsal fin, the vicious strike and away you go. Kinda gets ya all distracted don't it?

If you could make a crab color (orange) with brass blades, I'll bet that would catch em' here on the south bay beaches.

The bottom pics remind me of some flies I saw tied for pike and muskie for fishing way up north ol' Canada way.

I would like to try a couple of your ties on the crab pistol pete and I'll do some of my original ties that throbs in the current in trade if agreable. The crab size can be about the size of your thumbnail.
