Regards, Scott, No I tied and glued the foam horizontally but I took the extra step of cutting a V in the tail so I can claim the fly a poop boy hopper. Kidding of course. there was no particular reason other then I saw another video where the V was cut in the tail Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
