Description
Wilson’s Sponge Spider – Black is a BreamBugs spider fly selected for bluegill and bass anglers who want lively surface movement, visible action, and strike-triggering appeal. It fits naturally in a fly box stocked with bass poppers, bluegill flies, panfish bugs, and topwater fly fishing tackle.
Use it around pond banks, lily pads, shaded edges, grass lines, and calm pockets where surface strikes happen fast, or keep it ready when you want a proven BreamBugs option for your next fly fishing trip.

I fished this Red Sponge Spider this past Sat. morning for Bluegills, also used the Yellow Sponge Spider. Throwing to a spot in about 1-2 foot of water, I was catching fish with the Yellow. The biting stopped, so I starting used the Red and the biting started again. Picked up two large Bluegills in a hurry.
Sat. morning I used Sponge Spiders only. A friend went with me who doesn\'t flyfish, but believes in and loves to fish with BeetleSpins. To make a long story short I caught 25 and he caught 4. Two of his four were caught with a Yellow Sponge Spider near the end of our trip, as I had made a believer out of him and he wanted to give it a try. It wasn\'t pretty, but he did manage to catch the two in just a few minutes.
The great thing was an hour and a half later we, along with our wives, were dining on our catch. Fried fresh Bream (Bluegills). Ate everyone of them. I normally release my fish as I catch them with barbless hooks, but on that morning we predetermined we wanted some Bream to eat for lunch. Yum yum eatumup.
