Club Sandwich
Note: I prefer tan because the hoppers in my area are that color. You can always substitute colors to match your local terrestrials. Tying instructions
- Cut three strips of foam and glue together. Using scissors trim to shape and size.
- Start thread at the eye and wrap back to above the barb laying a nice thread base. Let the bobbin hang near the eye.
- Coat thread base with head cement.
- Next begin making rib wraps towards the bend of the hook. I create the rib wraps by wrapping around the foam twice then crossing over the top of the foam to create the next rib. Do these evenly spaced. Travel back towards the bend and the back towards the eye. This should look like a box with an “X” inside it. Stopping ¾ of the way to tie in the legs.
- Cut two rubber legs the length of the foam body. Each leg should have 2 strands of rubber leg material. Tie an overhand knot in each leg.
- Tie in the first leg nearest you with two wraps. Then cross over the foam using the same cross over made previously while ribbing the body. Then tie in the back part of the leg with two wraps. Do the same for the other leg.
- Cut the leg material so that you have one strand for the front leg and two strands for the back legs.
- Tie in or glue on the indicator foam.
- Whip finish and add a drop of super glue to the knots on the legs and also where they are tied in.
