Hareline Kiley's Spoon Skinz

What it is

Kiley’s Spoon Skinz are pre-shaped, spoon-shaped fly shells made from plastic. They’re lightweight and durable on the hook, giving you a ready-made spoon profile without having to form it from scratch.

What to tie with it

Use them as spoon fly bodies by mounting the shell and building your underbody to match, then locking it in with resin for a resin-coated spoon shell. They’re also handy any time you want a clean, consistent spoon shape for a baitfish or crustacean-style body.

Flies and the fish they're for

These are built for spoon-style patterns that get fished like a tiny weedless spoon for redfish on shallow flats and marsh grass edges, and for seatrout in skinny water when they’re tracking small bait. In freshwater, spoon flies also have a place for largemouth and peacock bass around vegetation where a flashing, wobbling profile draws eats. If you’re tying shrimp presentations for fish keyed on shrimp, spoon-shell style bodies can play well in that lane too for redfish and bonefish in clear, shallow water.
