Carl's mention of the gurgler pattern reminded me, this past August I had a great day catching smallies on the upper potomac, throwing a small white foam gurgler with a purple marabou tail. The fly is very plain and simple, it was tied by one of Brian Kelly's guys at the fly shop in Shepardstown, the tiers name was also Brian. (photo of fly attached - still has a bit of tippet tied on).

Richard, Those will work. I tie foam spiders like that all the time.You can tie them with black foam and a little "post" of white foam so you can see them.On 01/24/2013 11:55 AM, Richard Lin wrote:
I am big fan of panfish or bluegill and I use mini popper all time. The cost of popper body is expensive and we have to take time to tie, glue and paint it. Most stores sell completed mini popper about 3 to 5 dollars each!
After I tied few cricket patterns, I then got an idea and use these cricket form materials and apply to mini popper. See picture - I think it should be worked! I am going to tie few more and test them in spring or summer.
You should take a look at the Gartside Gurgler:
