Default Some spiders ...

Not my best creations but I like 'em. They're tied on size 14 hooks, make/model is unknown as I was given them but the packet just had "Spider Hooks" written onto it.

Okay here's my bit the top one is fine but the head need's work.
The only other one that I like is the last one but the wire looks like you have just cut it off at one end but this may just be an illusion.

Finally chill maybe people dont like them and dont want to comment particularly when you start making post stating how many views they have had and in particularly in binary.

I have not tied to many spiders, however..if I remember correctly being told by a classic tier/fisher from my part of the world..'there are two ways to tie a fly..one for the fish and the other for the multitude of on looking fishers'...........sure the heads needs to be cleaned up a bit, but at the end of the day..It is the fish that will show their approval..

Nice little flies.
I do like spiders, and enjoy tying them, but I don't fish them that often. Heads are a little untidy, but otherwise they look fine. I like the first and last also, particularly the fly with the dubbed thorax, nice little fly. I can imagine a few grayling hitting that.

As a 'tyre kicker' can I just say - sometimes I might glance at a new thread, but not have time to write a reply, no offence meant.

They have all got potential. The first two are fine just need to tidy the heads up, but the fish aint going to spot that. The third and fourth i think you arnt helping your self with the thread thickness. The last one has a nice look about it, somehow the wire seams to be cut or am i looking at it wrong.
Keep em coming mate, dont worry about replies ive posted and not had any replies before, other times theres been full blown arguements lol.

Cracking wee spiders, and the heads are fine. Fish don't mind that they're not varnished smooth.
