Been tying these up for spring.

Nice job, what is the prey? And what is the body material?

Bodies are soft foam perfect poppers, painted with spray paint and covered with Liquid Fusion. Will be using them for seatrout.
They are very nice. I would guess balsa or cork bodies would be destroyed if the fishing was very good. I have turned a foam body about that size with my rotary tool, but it is very tricky..

I also turn the smaller popper bodies using a dremel, but I use a tool that holds the foam while it turns in the dremel, makes it very easy to turn the body and shape it with a nail file. The tool I use I got from a shop called Soggy Bottom, it comes in 2 sizes that will let you turn large ( 1") , or the small one for bodies down to around size 12. This is one I did with some stacked foam sheets:
That's a nice job also. I have never stacked foam, I guess my daughter has provided me with too many flip flops and the availability of foam kids toys I can misuse. That's a really nice paint job on the saltwater poppers, is that an airbrush or are you just really good with a rattle can?
