With the FOAM HOPPER BODIES von Hotfly you can tie perfect grasshopper replicas in no time at all. Simply use a cutter knife or razor blade to make a small longitudinal slit on the underside of the foam body and fix it to the hook shank with a little super glue. The three pairs of legs with the characteristic jumping legs at the back can easily be made and attached using Sili Legs or you can use the Silifoam Hopper Legs.
By the way, the FOAM HOPPER BODIES can be easily painted with waterproof pens like our Fly Tying Marker Felt Pens to make them even more realistic.
Imitation grasshoppers are the first choice especially in summer during the hottest hours at midday and early afternoon at meadow streams, because no trout wants to miss these fat morsels when they fall unintentionally into the water.
Due to the good buoyancy of FOAM HOPPER BODIES, your grasshopper patterns always sits on the surface, even in turbulent waters. Due to these good swimming characteristics, grasshopper imitates are often used in summer for a special presentation, the so-called hopper-dropper rig with a nymph at the tip and a grasshopper as a bite indicator, which often provokes the bite itself and brings the fish.
The FOAM HOPPER BODIES are available in the most promising colours and in a length of 24 mm. Each package contains 5 pieces.
