Wademaster, I have just used the billy bluegill spider this past year, but the colors that I liked best were black or olive with black or white rubber legs. I also am making poppers this winter out of flip flops. I used a hot needle to thread a string then the rubber legs through them on some and some I just tied the rubber on the outside like you would a foam spider on others. The great thing about tying your own is that you can experiment without very much capital involved.
