Ronnie thank you for the info I'm just getting into the fly tying aspect but it's fun.
HEY RONNIE : GGGGGGGGGGGGGGREAT LOOKING POPPER AND GREAT COLOR TOO! I never have tried to tie a popper myself as it looks frustrating if the body would start to turn on the hook. Nice one you have and very well done! CCCCCCCCCCCCCONGRATS:
Dick, I found some cork that is 1/4'' round X 3/4 long. I cut it down to 1/2'' long then I use a dermal tool to shape the front dish. Cut a slot for the hook, lay down a thread base on the hook and glue on the cork. I use a white to prime the cork and then use nail polish to paint. Takes 4 or 5 coats and then I glue on the eyes (3D). Use clear Sally Henson to top coat going over the eyes also, 4 or 5 coats of clear.
Thats a good looking popper Ronnie nice job!
Ronnie were the heads premade or foam or wood.
It is a size 12 hook x2 long shank
One thing for sure your in the right place but I recall you saying you done it when you was younger so what you probably need is a good refresher coarse, I have confidence in you Jim.
I may need a little, er, a lot of fly fishing guidance!
Jim come on down. I'm down there just have to learn how the pro's do it.
