steelie 0 Report post Posted December 27, 2006 Good Day, Doing a little post Christmas gift card shopping and I have a question for those who might know. I am thinking of purchasing some of these TNT Rubber hopper Legs. The mold was apparently cast from an actual hopper leg. Question: Am I correct in assuming that the legs need to be heat kinked into position on the fly so as not to lay flat as they are pictured?

BLACKKNIGHT1361 0 Report post Posted March 24, 2013 I put a post up on my super natural hoppers on the site under fly tying forum, I found that when you get the legs off as you have them in the photo if you cut between them you have a small tag that you can tie under your thread and a drop of super glue will hold them fine haven't had a fish tear one off yet. I tie them in a size 6 as its an average size for hoppers and the legs are about the right size for the body of the fly and the big plus is the fish love them.
