Can we catch Tilapia by spinning a fly? Yes, we can and it is less messy than using earthworms, chicken liver or bread. Using small beads, small hooks (size #12 nymph hooks or even size#6 hooks) and marabou feathers will do the trick. Here's a few fly patterns which work very well for hunting Tilap...

I tied them myself though my very first fly (a Clouser Minnow fly) was bought from Coho.

Interesting. If everything is equal in terms of pressure and depth of line wound, I'd say it's due to the friction of the line itself. Braided lines typically have a rougher surface than mono, so lines around them tend to drag the portion that is going out when casting. This effect becomes apparent...

Braided line used: FINS PRT 4 lbs 0.10pm Mono line used: Tomman 4 lbs 0.17mm Rod used: 6 feet 2-6 lbs 0.8-3g Reel used: Tica Cetus SB 500 Weight used: 3g ball sinker Lure used: fly hook size #4 With the same setup, weight and fly used, I found that Mono beats Braided in distance. This puzzled me as ...

That's a very good writeup with illustration on spin fly, Ping. Those interested to try out spin fly will find this article very useful, I think may try it out too one day.

Just wanna share my recently purchases at Top Gear Tackle shop (along Geylang Rd near Geylang Lor 1), they are having sale on FINS PRT braided lines (4lbs, 6lbs and so on) 100 yds for S$12+ and 150 yds for S$18+. It's a good bargain and so I bought 2 packs of 100 yds (4lbs and 6lbs ones) for my smal...

How you work the lure depends on what type you're using. If you read SGPU's luring catch reports, you'll notice that he actually states how he works the lure. :nod: That's a nice Peacock Bass on spinfly, Ping. Can you share with us how you work the fly? Thanks Peace, yeah I am sharing my little spi...

I would like to share my little knowledge on spin fly and some ultralight fishing basics with all the friendly people here. All info sharing, comments, advic...

There are still some small peacock bass lurking there, usually the reeds area. Spinning fly is the best way to get them.
