Foam Spider Fly Tying Kit – Feather Craft Fly Fishing
A Lightweight, High-Floating, High-Fun Kit for Tiers of All Skill Levels
The Foam Spider Fly Tying Kit brings together the essential materials needed to create one of the most effective warmwater surface flies ever invented. Simple, durable, and endlessly productive, the foam spider is a staple for targeting bluegill, crappie, bass, and even trout under the right conditions. This short form product description captures everything anglers love about this kit—its ease of use, versatility, and the lifelike action that makes foam spiders impossible for fish to ignore.
These spiders have caught a zillion bluegill since their introduction 30+ years ago. The kit includes 24-hooks, 24-assorted spider bodies, 2-colors round rubber and clear step-by-step tying instructions.
Foam spiders have long been celebrated for their buoyancy and irresistible surface disturbance. The combination of lightweight foam bodies, flexible rubber legs, and a clean, simple profile makes the fly ideal for ponds, lakes, slow-moving rivers, and any water where panfish feed near the surface. The Foam Spider Fly Tying Kit includes pre-cut foam bodies, matched hooks, rubber legs, thread, and all the materials needed to sit down at the vise and start tying immediately. Whether you’re an experienced tier or just getting started, the kit offers a rewarding and highly approachable introduction to warmwater fly tying.
One of the greatest advantages of tying foam spiders is their simplicity. Foam bodies form the bulk of the fly, offering buoyancy and a natural silhouette that floats low in the water like a struggling terrestrial or small insect. The legs add movement with even the slightest twitch or ripple, turning the fly into a living, breathing snack for hungry fish. Because the design uses just a handful of materials and requires only basic tying skills, tiers can produce a dozen flies quickly, making the kit perfect for beginners, youth tying classes, or experienced anglers who appreciate efficient production.
The Foam Spider Fly Tying Kit also excels in encouraging customization. While the classic black spider is a proven fish-catcher, many anglers enjoy experimenting with new color combinations, leg patterns, and size variations. Even small changes in foam color, leg length, or hook size can produce unique behaviors on the water. The kit gives tiers the freedom to create spiders that ride high, sit low, skate across the surface, or drift naturally with minimal movement.
The Foam Spider Fly Tying Kit gives tiers the chance to create all of these patterns and more in a straightforward, enjoyable package designed to build confidence and produce results. Whether you’re filling a warmwater box, teaching someone new to fly tying, or restocking your own supply of surface spiders, this kit delivers everything needed to craft flies that ride high, wiggle naturally, and catch fish all day long.
