Hi,

 

I have been trying to track down "do it yourself" kits for making Flying C's, but without success to date. I want to be able to customise /repair them.

 

All help much appreciated. Many thanks, Des Friel.

 

PS - Flying C's are spinners. The C stands for condom! as the rubber skirt is said to resemble one and the original nickname stuck! I daresay it was curtailed to "C" so as not to offend those more sensitive souls amongst us!

 

Many thanks for any input

Hi Julian,

 

many thanks for the kind inclusion on the forum. Got two responses, both of them exactly what I needed. I wanted to add a message to thank the guys personally, but couldn't get access. Is it possible to maybe add a wee thanks on my behalf?

 

Tight lines,

Des Friel

I suggest you contact Kenny at Anglers Rendezvous in Glasgow for your clevises. The clevis is probably the single most important part of a spinner's construction. Poorly designed clevises often make for poor rotation or a complete failure altogether. I've been using Kenny's clevises for the last 3-4 years and they never let me down, even when casting upstream.
