Gills like spiders. I drew a spider on a piece of stretch band and cut it out and super glued it on the hook. Every time it hit the water,
perch were all over it.

I may have cheated by wrapping the chartruse thread on the hook prior to applying super glue.
nice job .:ThumbsUp
Creative thinking paid off.
what a cool idea.
Great thinking. Nothing like catching them on a lure you made yourself.
I must be the only one envying the closest fishing is a mower ride away. :D
Gonna have to try that lol
Hey RR, I am a very low end fly tier, but have caught a number of panfish and bass on ones I tied. I am trying to visualize just what you used to cut out the spider pattern. Not sure what a stretch band is, all I could think of was a rubber band and it is not big enough for what you show there. Mind elaborating a little on how you did it?
Thanks

Been catching a lot of bream and decided to tie some spiders and they have produced. Decided to see what would happen with drawing a spider on the rubber
band and cutting it out and tying it on a small gill hook. It worked so well I thought I'd share the method of my madness. The chartruse thread on the hook helps
the super glue stick better and last longer The bands are thin, flexible and provide movement when jigged in the water around docks, willow trees and brush.
My zero turn keeps me from getting snake bit when navigating around pond dams. I just set the brake, stand up and cast and if the weeds are too high, I just
mow 'em down. Neighbors like for me to fish their ponds because I don't mind mowing around the ponds for easy access. Win win for all.
Thanks RetiredRR!
Dont know about anyone else but i got heebeegeebees just lookin at those spiders
I didn't catch the fishing being a mower ride away. How neat is that? lolQuote:
