Looks cool Ronnie!

Just a thought, but one of the complaints I hear from those who cast these flyer lures is that their wind resistance greatly reduces the length of the cast.

IMO, the wings are what creates so much drag, but, the wings are what finish the silhouette that tuna zero in on!

Have you tried completely removing the wings, then rebuilding them with your feathers?

It may mess up the way the lure sits on the water, but the feathers would not resist the air as much, and if the lure lays in the water okay, the feathers would still "open" up once on the water and recreate the profile.

What do you think?
