Yes, I always do that, whether it is a popper or not, and the thread was slipping a little as well, as the fibers in the nylon would stretch or move out of their initial positions and wiggle back and forth or side to side, making the entire body wobble and remain out of balance. I drop of epoxy at either ends always helped, but only tremporariy.
In this version, with the roughened-shank, I'd just put the cork body right onto the shank, without any thread in the way.

Have you wrapped thread around the shank?RickNo virus found in this outgoing message.----- Original Message -----From: SJ HassanSent: Monday, January 10, 2005 6:33 PMSubject: [VFB] Surface Popper body slipI 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.
