Chemically sharpened micro barb Allows for swift and sturdy hook sets. Quantity per pack: 25. Video How to use FAQs Step 1 Put your hook in your fly tying vise and cover the shank with thick, coarse thread wraps in a crisscross fashion. This is important for gripping the foam inside the popper body to prevent twisting. Step 2 Put a liberal amount of clear-drying Super Glue Gel on the hook shank. Step 3 Slowly but firmly mount the foam fly body onto the hook. Position as desired and leave for a minute or two to dry. Take out of vise and repeat with your next foam fly body and hook. Note: Although it is Super Glue, it is suggested to leave your mounted hooks for an hour or two before working further on them. It sometimes takes time inside the foam for the glue to set properly.
