Making popper bodies with foam is one thing. I kinda like those flies. Its the flexible foam that I don't like using and think is ugly. Marking and painting the foam can make it look realistic, but you can do that on and material.

I know there are many more people that like foam than not. I don't like it much, so the little benefit of using it does not outweigh my lack of enthusiem and extra coast and space of adding another material to my stock.

I was just wondering if there are only a few people that feel like I do, or are there more?

And does anyone have a favorite material to replace foam with in foam patterns?
