That particular fly is made from two large rubber spider bodies glued onto a hook using Goop or E6000. (I'm not fond of cyanoacrylates, aka super glues). It is just a slight variation for saltwater of a Clouserfloating minnow, where the spider bodies are glued together side to side. Now I understand the clouser reference...this is one of Bob's floating patterns...
