Spider Body Cutter

[fishbum]

I use the size 12 cutter with a size 10 dry fly hook. I also use 3mm foam for the size 10 spider and 2mm foam for the size 12. For a size 8 and larger spider i would use the small or medium beavertail body cutter.

The bug in the picture is a size 10.

I picked up some of the large foam spider bodies at some point. Didn't really use them since I could only get two colors white or black at my local fly shop. What I eventually did was use one of the bodies as a template and cut bodies out of 3 or 4 mm craft foam or if I'm feeling creative use two different colors of 2 mm sticky back craft foam pressed together. Also I tie them a bit different since no one told me that the narrow end was suppose to be the head.

That's a beautiful Redbreast Sunfish! We don't have those here in Iowa. ;o)
