Follow this link for a picture of them. This is in response to Larry's thread about poppers.
I have tied several poppers and sliders as tube flies using balsa bodies-painted. Nice but time consuming. the Crease Fly, invented by Joe Blados, is
quicker and a large range of body shapes and colors can be achieved. The link shows several that I tied on 6/0 hooks for Capt. Peace Marvel of Venice, LA
to use for tuna and dorado. For bass and blues they can be tied on 2/0 or 3/0 long shank hooks or as tube flies, thus obviating the need for that big, heavy
hook. Craft foam, available in craft stores for about $1/sheet, is used for the body. Cut to shape and glue onto the hook or tube with CA. It helps to cover
the shank with old backing first which is saturated with CA accelerant. Smear thick CA on the foam and press in place. If tying the tail on the hook or tube,
do this first. Alternatively, it can be tied on a tooth pick(1/2 inch or so) and CAed into the rear. Color with markers or glitter fabric paint(Easy Sparkle
Body-same thing but 1/3 the price) or glue any kind of silvey stuf
to the foam first with 3M Super 77 spray adhesive. You can use sheet mylar, woven mylar fabric, etc. This can be colored with markers and/or fabric
paint. These are killer flies. Leave the front open to make noise. You can glue a piece of plastic soda straw inside or a scap of foam. Coat with a thin layer
of 30 min. epoxy for shine, depth, and durability. Fish on surface or use int. or sink line to achieve an up and down, wounded bait fish action. Call me if
you want to discuss how to make 'em. Bob
