Overview
This foam body is designed for anglers tying extended-body dry flies that need a clean, consistent profile at the vise. Made from 2mm closed-cell foam and shaped with a tapered tail and broader head, it is suited for building realistic dragonflies, damselflies, and similar topwater patterns on hooks sized #8 to #12. The lightweight, buoyant construction helps flies ride high, while the pre-cut form reduces time spent on shaping and trimming. Sold in packs of 6, it offers a practical option for trout, bass, and bluegill fly boxes without adding unnecessary complexity to the tying process.

Considerations & Trade-offs
- Sized for hook sizes #8 through #12, so it is not a universal fit for larger or smaller patterns.
- At approximately 1 7/8 inches long, the body length may limit use to extended-body dry fly designs rather than compact bugs.
- Sold in packs of 6, which is convenient for bench use but may be more than needed for occasional tiers.
- The pre-shaped profile speeds tying, but it offers less blank material than starting from raw foam for fully custom shaping.
