Bling Bass Popper

 Bling Bass Popper



Recipe
Hook: #6 Kink Shank
Body: Sheet Craft Foam
Eye: Stick on eye
Tail: Krystal Flash
Hackle: Grizzly die Green
Color: Black Sharpie

The idea came from a visit to Michel's Craft Store. Saw these textured sheets of sparkly closed cell foam.










Took a # 6 kink shank popper hook. Threaded it back to the hook point. Built up a body with a piece of white craft foam closed cell. Cut a piece of the sparkly green to fix around the white center build up. Mind leave the self stick backing on till the piece is cut to size. Coat the white with a glue such as brush on super glue. Peel the backing off. Place and hold briefly.



Place stick on eyes.




Coat the body and eye with a UV cure product.




 Finish dressing the fly with tail and hackle.
