foam spiders

[gonefishin]

Good news! You don't have to be a tyer to make foam spiders. At the recent Sowbug get-together I watched Rich Vogel (at least I think that's his name) who has written so many of the warmwater articles on FAOL make spiders without using any thread at all. He simply threaded the foam body onto the hook like putting on a worm. He them threaded his rubber leg material into a big-eyed needle and 'sewed' them thru the body as well. I asked why he din't glue everything together and he said he just found it easier to pull the body back up the hook if it slid down and that it was easier to him to save the fly by rethreading leg material back thru the same hole if got lost or broken. I still think I'm gonna use Superglue on them when I 'get-a-round-to-it. ;0) CC

Seems like it would be a good way to go to me. I am going to have to give it a try.
