I finally found some of the foam bodies. A company had 810 of them, so I bought them all (at 11¢ each)
Right behind that I had a 25% off on Mustad hooks, so bought 1,000 size 10 and 1,000 size 12 of the new version of the 94833.
If you would like me to set aside a few for your tying contact me @ :

Puck,
How are yiu going to get by with only 810 foam bodies for the yellow spider? That’s only a half year’s supply for you!
Where did you get the deal on the Mustad hooks?
Regards,
GPB
810 along with what I have should have enough for the rest of 2026. With the Mustad hook, I had signed up for their newsletter.
So, with the 810 new spider bodies and what you already had, it will get you through the end of the year. So … about half a year. Thanks for the tip on the Mustad newsletter. I’ll pursue it.
I have Barry S down for 50 bodies and 50 each of the hook (100)
I have Tom S down for 20 bodies
Nice score on the foam bodies — at 11¢ each it made sense to buy the lot. The Mustad 94833 is a good light-wire hook for soft-hackles like this spider, so 2,000 of the new version is a serious stockpile. Thanks for passing along the newsletter tip.
810 foam bodies is commitment — love the club energy in these comments. Newsletter tip on the Mustads is gold. I’ve been clipping short tying bench videos lately and makeaivideo.app has been handy for quick cuts without a full editor stack. Hope those spiders fish as hard as the stockpile suggests.
I’m down to 525, as the folks that fish with me can attest to the fish’s reaction to the SCE Yellow spider.
