We shall call this one the Woven Cap spider
Cap spiders are tied by fly fisherman for bream, It's a pretty easy tie the way some do it. Use chenille for the body on a small jighead and a few rubber legs. Getting the legs to splay correctly is the hardest part. It is hard to tie them in and get them all on the same plane at first, but like anything else practice makes perfect. I just decided to take it another step by weaving the body.
Here is a video YouTube - Tying Michael Verduin's Cap Spider

Unfortunately for you guys in the jig swap, this isn't the one I am tying :cool:
Do not fret, I don't believe you will be disappointed. As a matter of fact you can catch a glimpse of the woven Catalpa Worm for the swap in the third picture at the beginning of this post. If there is another Bream swap anytime soon I might just have to make up a few caps.

Looks awesome, love the weave. ;) Will have to try something like that the fish local lake that like to sit under the overhanging trees all day long. A long cane pole quietly pushed out and lower it to the surface and hopefully BLAM!

I really like the look of that weaving that should be a killer the fish dont stand a chance...

Very nice. I may attempt some woven flies/jigs in the near future. The weather is too nice now to not be out fishing. This is Texas, that will change.
