I have to say I like both but for small water the Martin is tops. Back before this flyfishing thing I was a hard core spinner fisherman. For a long time I made my own, but they were never as nice as the ones ya could buy. I have caught alot of fish on the Martins but have landed somebig trouton the old Rooster Tails.

Another spinner that I like alot is a silver Blue Fox "Vibrex", hope they still make them.

It is funny this topic came up, just yesterday a freind and I went and checked out a smalll spring feed creek, just alittle pre season scouting trip. Man was this place made for spinners, I may have to go back on my evil ways and fish the old line twister once again. It has been a long time, wonder if I can still flip one?


Trout season opens next weekend, cant wait.
