Scott, do you find the spundun style easier than the more traditional comparadun/sparkle dun wing?

Yes I do. I don’t think I’ve ever tied a Sparkledun that I’d even consider fishing for bluegills on a farm pond; never been able to get the wing to lay properly and covering the deer hair butts always left a lumpy body (Charlie Craven leaves them exposed which is a little easier and creates a neat little PFD on top). Spunduns are pretty much reverse muddlers and and since I tie a lot of muddlers (and bullet heads) I can usually get the effect I’m looking for without all the frustration, plus I can leave the butts exposed and get the PFD/thorax as a bonus.
I don’t tie them on anything smaller that a #14 but that’s more a function of my hair supply. I had a piece of pronghorn with very nice, shorter hair that spun like a dream and could tie #16s easily but I used it all up. For stuff like PMDs and Olives I’ll tie something like a Hairwing Dun, Viz-a-Dun, or Quigley Cripple.

Regards,
Scott
