Making Foam Bodies For Fly Tying With Craft Foam

Mike shows a unique technique to make foam bodies for tying flies. Simply laminating layers of craft foam will produce awesome results for tying. Catching more fish with these flies will hook you on tying these easy to tie flies.

I just use rubber cement. I also will poke a nail though the center and put it in a Dremel then spin it and I use a nail file to shape it. Works great

Looking forward to more videos!

Excellent tutorial!!

If you sharpen that brass tube with a round file it will make a much more efficient cutter. I made steel ones for my drill and they work wonderfully. Thanks for the tips those poppers are expensive! All the best. Sean

I don't think I mentioned that I do sharpen them... thanks for bringing it up... yes, they do much better when sharpened.

Excellent. My only question is how to best tie your laminate foam on a hook.

Where did you get the wings for this fly that I see in the opening picture that look kinda like a flower? Love the video can't wait to make some up.

Would you be able to post a video sometime of tying a fly with these bodies you have made?
