Outstanding video and great fly. Well done. But the name may be confusing. There is an old and well known fly called the Spuddler. It shares the deer hair head but otherwise quite different.

aw geez tying in the nude!! be careful where you drop hooks!!Originally Posted by SteveP
kidding aside, the backdrop is a good idea. keep using it.
Not nude I was wearing boxers... Just kidding it was hot in the house and was also about 2.00am (only time that it is quiet in the house).
As for the name I gave it that name because it is a hybrid between a spider grub and a muddler minnow, both that I use quite often. You have peaked my interest though, would you happen to have a link to that fly anywhere?
Great video. Nice to see the site catch up a little.

Great job! One question. Do you ever tie in a loop of mono or wire at the bend to keep the rabbit from wrapping around? Or is this not a problem?

Superb teaching skills, very interesting video....thanks for the new feature!!!!
The other Spuddler may not be as popular anymore with the all the other Muddler variations out there. Developed ion the '60s It's supposed to be a combination of the Spruce Fly and the Muddler. I don't think much of the Spruce Fly made it into the final version.
I couldn't find many pictures. The first one is like what was in the Dan Bailey catalog for many years. The second is a modified form.
