Great scorpion rustyspinner!!foam is a very cool material to work with,i have Grahams foam scorpion standing here and look down on me Leif

Hi,yes ofcource we fish some realistic,but not this kind of flies/spiders =) I sell some and swap some and some are standing here and looking at me,its fun to show them at shows and other events and some people walk true and jump away when they see the stuff at the table...last year a guy that was realy afraid of spiders did stand far away from my table,but after some time he stand and looked close to it,but still shaking and that was strong of him! Yes its astroturf i had to google it to see what you meant Leif
