In the latter stages of many mayfly hatches, the predominant phase of the bug is its spent position, meaning the bug has died and it lays flat, belly down on the surface with its wings spread. Fish target this phase and you must match it because the fish will not entertain any other stage of the hatch you might be offering. A DFI Spinner is the ultimate hatch match with glistening wings, biot bodies, and articulated tails. Want to finish the hatch with power? Invest in this bug in all colors!!
The Convertible is a unique mayfly design in the dry fly world. It is one of the few bugs that can be fished in two phases of the hatch: The adult split wing and the spent spinner. For over a year now the Convertible has been terrorizing fish in every mayfly hatch we have delivered it in. We like to use the word, "revolutionary" when we talk about this design because that description characterizes the Convertible perfectly!! Here's why:
By pinching under the wing, you can then convert the bug back into a split or dual-wing adult. This is a very cool bug!! If you enjoyed fishing the No Hackle, you will love the Convertible. The best part is it is virtually maintenance free—made with durable bear hair and will not fray like duck quill.
