Guest Report post Posted January 16, 2020 Given so many away found couple hooks big enough to give them bite still float great with these cork bods. (Misipi) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bryon Anderson 0 Report post Posted January 17, 2020 Cool idea -- love the rattle! Any chance you'd do a SBS -- or a longer instructional video? I can't see how the rattle works... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Report post Posted January 17, 2020 The first ones I robbed styro float inserts but found lil plastics straws clicked as well. Indeed the metal collars can be heard quite aways from the cast bugs! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Report post Posted January 17, 2020 The key is to split the foam/cork to get the front plastic tube (coffee stirrers work cut 2 short pieces to get over hook barb&bend). Glue body and plastic insert dont get glue where hook slides. Drill plastic bead out so itll go over the hook barb and glue at bend. I SallyHansens the body and sprinkle with glitter, glue on eyes dont paint (actually I first paint the cork with Krazyglue to seal it when gluing). Do the tails last. Gotta leave room for good movement for loud click but balance hook size to body to not loose hook bite from bulk of body. (Misipi) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Philly 0 Report post Posted January 17, 2020 Nice and Interesting. I've inserted rattles in some of my poppers and in my Crease flies. I'll have to give that a try. I've got a bunch of beads and few small metal sleeves that might fit over some of my hooks. Some thing different for fly tying season. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Report post Posted January 21, 2020 Matt L. from Mustang, Ok finally dropped couple of clickers to you in the mail. Enjoy! Prolly under snow/ice wont hit NC marshes for awhile.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bryon Anderson 0 Report post Posted March 13, 2020 So the deal is the popper body, mounted to the plastic tubes, slides back and forth on the hook shank? The click comes from the body colliding with the bead, which is glued in place at the bend? Do I have it right? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Report post Posted March 13, 2020 That is correct. Been using popper/droppers but sometimes they just want a click. Idea from most popular way to catch specks/reds along the Gulf coast. https://www.google.com/search?q=click%20corks%20for%20specks&tbm=isch Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
