I wanted to cut down on the size of my fly box and save wt on the tie. I have seen something similar on big game fish and I adapted it from a 6 to 8 wt fly rod. First for the materials size one hook, Polar flash, craft fur. I was out of white craft fur select so I layered standard craft fur material on the shank.

Jam knot



tie in the polar Flash and the green craft fur

Cut the cylinder foam (1/2 inch) and you'll need coffee stir stick. I use a small screw driver to make a hole in the center of the foam ,make sure the stir stick will inserts fairly easily . I then take a small amount of GOOP and apply it to the end section extending out of the foam and pull it back in inside of the foam ...do not recess the stir stick past flush!! Clip the long end of the stir stick and your done!! I thread the leader inside the foam head and tie the streamer on . Snug the eye of the hook onto the foam. Weed guard is optional. Saturday was the first time I used it and the results were good!! I increased the size of the hook from a size 2 to 1. Three on and fun!
