Frog,

Most of the recipes I've seen for adding legs to a spun deerhair bug show the legs being put in as the bug is built, not afterwards...but, as Jim pointed out, then you have to worry about accidently cutting the legs when you trim the hair.

I tried it that way when I first started spinning bugs, then switched for a bit to adding them 'after'. It's easier, they get placed exactly where you want them on the finished bug, and you can trim the heads without worrying about the legs.

Now, however, I just skip the rubber legs completely. Where I fish, I've seen no need for them. AND, the little bass and bluegills were always pulling on them.

Up to you how you, or if, you choose to do this....the fish won't care either way.
