Posting several pictuures of the store. After not tying for 15 years I did not know or realize I had these resourses less than a 1/2 mile from my house Dave thought would be nice if I could post some pictures of the store so you could get a better feel of the type of place it is.

When I first walked in I could not belive the inventory. The staff and owner are all very nice and a pleasure to do business with. I found the place mid last week and have been there 3 times already buying tying supplies. Flymasterters of Indinapolis.

These are the first bug I ever tied 30 years ago and still effective today!!!!! WIth luck I won't run out of the bodies, BUT GUESS WHAT?!!!!!!!! FOUND 10,000 MORE BODIES IN INDIANAPOLIS INDIANA!!!!! The place is called FLY MASTERS AND PHONE IS 317-570-9811 and talked to the gentleman who owns the place by the name of JOHN yesterday. He'll sell the bodies cause he has so many. 

  When Wapsi fly quit selling these years ago , John knew Carl  the owner of Wapsi Fly and bought out his entire stock. 
   RICK KING and I were talking yesterday and got the phone number and the rest is history as they say. GET EM WHILE YOU CAN FOLKS, BECAUSE I KNOW OF NO  OTHER PLACE TO GET EM AT THIS TIME . JUST trying to help everyone out here and give em a call if you like. 
  TIGHT LINES!!!!!!!!!

David-i have a method of making all the foam spider bodies you and all the future generations will ever need.the sheet foam Steve mentioned.2mm for wrapping bodies or 3mm if you can find it.i make a 1 inch fold in the foam then take a hole puncher ,i use one about the size for notebook paper.slide the hole punch on the crease in the foam and leave alittle gap right on the crease and punch it and you should have 2 circles of foam attached like paper dolls.go to my page and look at the pics.for legs i get bargain bin silicone spinnerbait/jig skirts.they never dry out.as Steve said you can get the foam in many colors.

Hey Greg, wished it was 25 years old cause that would mean I never did the 10-12,000 after it !!!!!!!

Thanks Mark and Steve, and by the way Steve or Mark I can let go of some of these orange bodies if you like. I have another 200-300 in my safety deposit box. Let me know and I'll get em off to either of you guys.

I love foam and poppers!  That's a really hot looking spider, wish I had some orange foam like that.  Orange is one of my favorites too.

Yes David, orange has become my favorite color for top water bluegill flies. Second behind olive for deeper water. I buy the 2mm closed cell foam (they are in every color now), cut the foam into strips and wrap around the hook. A few legs and feathers you've got the worlds best top water bluegill fly.

Thanks Jim and  yep you are right , you can catch alot of fish on one lure . I bought 4000 of these bodies 25 years ago and am down to my last 500 or so and kind of saving em for my grand kids to use. THey spider bodys went out of production about 8 years ago and they are very hard to find now in shops , at least the colored ones. I had em in black , white, yellow , green, and of course orange.
