Thread: Spider

Hello All! Hope everyone had a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. I have a question, or more like a request. I am looking for a small plastic spider jig. This looks like a small, maybe one inch, beetle spin body with maybe 4 legs. I ran out of these so I don’t have a pic. Kentucky Outdoors we’re using these to catch redear. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Check with cdc member sponsor Bob's Jigs. On page 3 he has a panfish bug that is 1.5" but I'm sure could be shortened to 1".

Look on Temu. Lots of stuff there. Just use the search function. Here's one that says 2.01" so cut in half givs you two and each one is 1" long. You can also look up panfish jig spiders and see lots more. Just spend $10 and it's free shipping.

Thanks all. Not quite what I was looking for but I’ll definitely check them out.

Make them .
You get four bodies to a pack of Beetle spins .
You can find certain colors at Amazon for as low as $1.59 .
Discount tackle has them for $1.27 on sale when I Googled 1/32 Johnson beetle spin .
Then use a big sewing needle to thread rubber legs through the bodies .

You can also cut up plastic worms and use the little sections for bodies . 1” or 2” curly tail bodies could be used too . Just trim the tail off .

I thought of that to. Where could I find the rubber?
I ordered a few things from Discount Tackle. I opened up the page because i was going to check on the order. The first thing that popped up was a small jig called Maxie Waxie. The closest thing I was able to find so far. Thanks again for all the help. Oh and I would check those Maxie Waxies out.

This is pretty much what I was looking for.

Round rubber leg material is available from fly tying sources and on Amazon .
As an alternative , tear open a Bungie cord . Although most are either white or black rubber . But it works .

Thanks again for all the help.

That’s a really good idea. Thanks
