Spawn Fly Fish Flymen Surface Seducer Double Barrel Popper Bodies – Foam Popper, Slider & Diver Fly Ties

Overview

Introducing the Spawn Fly Fish x Flymen Surface Seducer Double Barrel Popper Bodies — a modern, soft-foam platform designed for versatile fly tying. Developed with input from veteran tiers, these bodies offer a flexible head that can face forward for classic poppers or be reversed for slider, diver, and Sneaky Pete style flies. Available in multiple sizes and colors, they invite you to craft everything from nimble panfish poppers to larger, S-tier game fish patterns. The result is a lightweight yet durable body that feels responsive in hand and on the water, delivering a tangible cue when you work your fly across the surface.

Key design advantages

• The Double Barrel design creates a deeper front cup for a louder, more audible pop when you retrieve your fly.
• When reversed, a recess allows you to bury body materials of slider patterns, enabling cleaner line and shank integration.
• The aggressive top lip concentrates a bigger splash forward, helping your fly sit up and draw attention on the surface.
• A recessed rear hole accepts tailing materials or the rear loop of an articulated shank, supporting a variety of tying configurations.
• The Double Barrel is produced with a novel process that yields a smooth, strong outer skin for consistent performance and durability.

Versatility and real-world use

• Forward-facing heads are ideal for classic poppers designed to entice topwater strikes and surface commotion.
• Reversible heads enable seamless creation of sliders, divers, and Sneaky Pete patterns without swapping bodies.
• Size and color options expand your tying repertoire, letting you tailor flies to water conditions and target species—from panfish to sailfish.
• The foam head supports a wide range of tie styles, so you can experiment with different body materials and tailing effects.

Craft, durability, and how to start

Crafted with soft yet resilient foam and a robust outer skin, these popper bodies resist snags and maintain shape during long sessions. Martin Bawden’s design philosophy shines through in the balance between buoyancy, splash dynamics, and tying ease. For best results, pair with compatible materials and practice your forward and reverse setups to discover which orientation your water gives the best reads.

Whether you’re dialing in a panfish pattern or chasing larger surface action, the Double Barrel bodies offer practical flexibility without locking you into a single style. They are designed to support a wide range of tying approaches, so you can explore and adapt based on conditions, fish behavior, and personal preference. This is a tool kit, not a guarantee—great potential, realized through your hands and method.
