The Foam Spider

[@Grumpyneanderthal]

Thanks for taking the time to explain the procedures clearly and not adding distracting music. I know it’s a pretty simple fly but learning the fundamentals that can be applied to other creations is helpful. So many fly tying experts move over steps quickly with little or no explanation. I tied salt water flies years ago for a short while and I’m now getting back into tying for panfish. Thanks Well Done!!

Nice looking spider

[@brettdman2908]

I wonder why it is so hard to find these foam bodies or foam cutters for this. I even checked on FlyMasters and they dont have it. I know it has been 4 years.

Great job ! do you use any glue ? how durable are the bugs ?

[@ArsonHammockHanger]

About half the time I use glue. That's only because I can get lazy. Glue will help them stay upright on the shank of the hook. For the time spent on a foam spider I would say they are very durable. The fish I go after (smallmouth, bluegill) attack this fly, and I have had some last months...
