Before we talk about the fly - click here to buy it!
The Bullet Head Foam Spider is a delicious treat for bluegill and other panfish (with a side of bass as well)!
This fly has enough foam to hang out right on top of the surface film and legs long enough to wiggle and attract the attention of bluegill!
Fish this fly by casting it out into open water or tight near cover and structure and then let it sit!! If it doesn't get attacked within the first 5-10 seconds give the fly a small strip or two and then let it sit again and hold on tight.
If you want to fish a dropper off of this fly use a small unweighted nymph so that it doesn't drag the fly down OR throw tiny dry for a double dry presentation - both will catch a bunch of fish!
You'll be seeing the shop highlight this fly pretty regularly because it just plain works!
