The Arachnid is a low-profile, glidey midrange rated 5/6/-1/1, a newer Innova mold built for speed, glide and long, straight flights: it holds a straight line with a slight turn and only a mild fade (for a right-handed backhand). Its low profile and big glide make it an easy-reaching, controllable straight-shooter.

That combination suits straight midrange lines and long, gliding approaches for a range of arm speeds, with a beaded rim for a secure grip. It is a beaded mid. Because it leans neutral-to-understable, it favors straight and gently turning lines over overstable, wind-fighting finishes.

Approved in 2025, the Arachnid is one of Innova's newest midrange additions.

Premium runs hold the straight, glidey flight; as a recent release its plastic lineup will grow over time.

Try Discs adds up reviews from six disc golf stores, so you see what players think across stores, not just at one shop. Reviews are great for spotting proven, popular discs. Take the details with a grain of salt, though: runs, plastics and skill level all change how a disc flies, so your experience may vary.
