I've noticed that sometimes these flies really attract the bluegill so I tie some in smaller 12-10 hook sizes when nothing seems to hit the big ones. I have caught bass on surprisingly small slim profile foam poppers for bluegill and crappie. Thanks, great pattern
Zap a gap is a very strong glue. You want to use it on this style of fly because the foam can spin. This will solve that problem. I hope that helps. Tim Landwehr
Good looking bug, recently listened to the orvis podcast where your shop talked about wiggle flies.

awesome job. Great fly. very fishy. very buggy. This is the kind of fly I like to tie and use. great video
You said you cut the foam 1/4” wide. How long do you cut it?
probably a 1/2" longer than the total hook shank
so 2x the length of the hook with a 1/4" over the front and back- at least it looks close.
Please do more foam flies please!
Nice tying !
