<p>Rex - never thought of using Chenille for spider bodies, great idea. I also have been using 2mm foam with lead wire. I have been looking for lead stikyiback tape to cut into strips to try. Do you know a soruce for it? thx Rick</p>

<p>I'm not sure what sort of material you want, but what about cellulose sponges for dishwashing? You could give them a dunk and a squeeze before fishing and they'd probably sink.</p>
<p>-Or maybe those 3M Scotchbrite scrubbers? They used to have something similar, also by 3M, made out of plastic (a steel wool substitute). The white ones had no abrasive coating.</p>

I think I would tie them with yarn bodies...a couple wraps at each end of the hook shank and add the legs in the middle...should sink fairly well

<p>Walt, I got nothing for you on the foam ideas, but having been married to a crafter for 23 years I might still be of some help.</p>
<p>If you'll tell me the name of the craft store where you intend to get the foam, I'm sure my wife will know what aisle it's on, what colors it comes in, how large a quantity you're gonna' need, what it's going to cost, AND......probably has a coupon for 40% off...<img alt="rolling on the floor" src="http://l.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/i/mesg/emoticons7/24.gif"/></p>

<p>Thanks for the ideas, guys. I had considered Rex's idea, but was really hoping to find a way to make them out of open-cell. I may try getting some from a craft store.</p>

<p>I googled open cell foam and found that various products are made from it. You could buy an open cell pad, but you'd have to cut your own bodies from it. Better than nothing, I guess, but less than ideal.</p>
