I have heard stories and rumors of a trout lure made in the 70's called a "Metal Fly" or "Metl Fly". It is not a traditional fly, but more of a bent spoon used for trout fishing. Has anyone heard of it or have an example? Bill

Thanks brother....I knew someone here would have the information...Bill
I owned one for a few years, a green Metl Fly. Never caught a fish with it because it was too light for me to cast with my spinning rods.
The Metl Fly was a very lightweight, perforated, metallic "fly" in the shape of a Helin flatfish. The smaller models Helin's flatfish were numbered F1 through F7, I believe, and commonly called "fly rod flatfish". At least I caught some trout with my fly rod Flatfish.
