Foam bodies
Tie realistic flies quickly and easily with these pre-made foam bodies
ANT FOAM BODIES by hotfly are preformed ant bodies made of foam, with which you can imitate the segmented body of ants very easily. All that's missing for the perfect ant pattern are just the legs and a pair of wings. The foam body gives your fly a high buoyancy, so that it can be fished dry very well.
FOAM HOPPER BODIES from hotfly are preformed grasshopper bodies made of foam. Due to the lifelike reproduction of the body shape, grasshoppers can be imitated very easily by gluing the foam body to the hook shank and integrating three pairs of legs. In addition, the FOAM HOPPER BODIES have a strong buoyancy and are therefore extremely reliable floaters that sits on the surface even in turbulent waters.
The foam is a very floating synthetic material and is very effective when fishing in fast waters because in addition to keeping the artificial fly afloat, with its bright colors you will never lose sight of it.
These already shaped elements are very useful because they will save you a lot of time during fly tying. With them you can make imitations of terrestrial or extended bodies. The best time to fish with this kind of artificial flies is certainly the summer, where insects such as caterpillars, grasshoppers etc... often fall into the water, becoming a prey for our salmonid friends.
