The use of epoxies, adhesives and coatings to produce fishing fly bodies and other fishing lures is an increasingly popular practice in fishing fly tying and lure making. The most critical and final step of this process is rotating the fishing fly or lure while the epoxy is curing thereby leveling the coating of the epoxy around the body. My invention is a simple wheel assembly with a spring wrapped around the circumference which is used to secure groups of individual fishing flies and lures before, during and after an epoxy or other finish is applied to them. The assembly holds the fishing flies and lures securely while they are rotating allowing the epoxy or other finish to level about the axis of the fishing flies and lure hooks. My invention allows the user to attach and remove the fishing flies and lures easily and to manipulate the position of the wheel by simply moving it with their hands. Current attempts at systems of this type have major shortcomings because they have used circular foam and cork type materials in which the point of the fly or lure hook is inserted. Instability of the fly and wear on the wheel are just some of the major limitations of current devices which make my invention extremely desirable amongst fly tiers and lure makers.
