It's being worked on for sure. If it hasn't been produced already, there's probably a good shot at seeing it this coming season. I know that there are some spiders het caramel out there with really nice size on them.
Not all caramels kink (as a matter of fact, each year the biz as a whole gets better and better at producing perfect caramels) and the spinning issue in spiders hasn't stopped most people from producing other spider combos.
It seems like for most people, you either want to work with spiders and caramels or your don't ... it's like so many other issues in this hobby ... hybrids vs pure breds, live vs frozen, flippers vs breeders, etc ... who's to say whos "right" and whos "wrong" ... just another thing for people to have an opinion on I guess.
With as nice as the caramel pin is turning out, I'm excited about seeing a caramel spider with really high white sides ... should be stunning ... and then eventually a caramel killer bee? WOWZERS, that's gonna be hot.
Just my worthless $.02.
