Just what is the trick to getting a water spider to sit flat on the water? Should the legs be curved up slightly or flat on a "plane". Should the legs be cememted, CA'd, or Flexmented in place. Should the legs have multiple wraps of thread, or just a few? Should the legs be siliconed, or not treated. I would have thought a foam fly would float like a cork but mine seem to just barely sit in the surface tension. When I jerk them for a little action, they roll partly under.

Thanks in advance for the help, Barry
