Have you tried using the Mustad 33903 kink-shanked hook designed
for poppers?
I sometimes have trouble with cork-body surface flies as they slip around the hook shank and just don't stay where their supposed to. I was thinking if I rubbed the hook shank with some emory paper before I glued the cork halves together, the epoxy would form a stronger bond between the roughened hook shank and the cork body and prevent further slippage.
