No but next time I stop by my local ffish shop, I'll definitely pick up a pack...I've discovered lots of local ponds and lakes and reservoir coves very worthy of poppers and surface flies, so I'll know I'll need to tie plenty as plenty will be broken off in a hard fight

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.
