Tie the LIP POP

The Lip Pop Fly

CudaFleece is a new exciting product from CudaFly. It is a available in a variety of colours and is ideal for all types of flies including saltwater, trout, salmon and pike flies. The LIP POP is a great alternative to poppers as not only does this fly pop water but the Lip provides extra movement to the fly, similar to Rapala lures. This fly can be fished on all densities of fly lines and is ideal for UK saltwater fly fishing and especially for UK Bass. This fly is also great for UK Pike fly fishing.

Step1

Catch in the white thread at the bend of the hook (Turral 2/0 Saltwater hooks) leaving the rest of the shank bare.

Step 2

Tie in the tail material of choice. Bucktail, Feathers orPolar Fibre and include some Krystal Flash or Flashabou.

Step 3

Cut a pinch of CudaFleece away from the pelt and place on the hook with the longer tapered ends placed over the tail material whilst allowing for about half an inch of the fleece fibre base to stand forward of the hook bend as pictured.

Step 4

Secure the CudaFleece fibres with a couple of loose turns of thread to allow the fibres to be spread evenly around the hook shank before pulling tight and adding another couple of turns of thread to secure firmly. Push the spare CudaFleece back to allow the thread to be wound around the shank immediately forward of the CudaFleece.

Step 5

Take another pinch of the CudaFleece and trim the tapered ends off square.

Step 6

Trim the base of the hair.

Step 7

The CudaFleece should appear as it does in the picture.

Step 8

Place the trimmed CudaFleece on the hook shank immediately in front of the last again placing a couple of loose turns around the middle of the fibres to allow for an even spread around the shank before pulling tight and adding a few more turns to secure the fibres firmly. Pull all of the fibres back and add a couple of turns and pass the thread through the fibres and place a couple of turns around the shank in front.

Step 9

Repeat the process up the hook shank toward the eye to build up the body.

Step 10

Repeat the process up the hook shank toward the eye to build up the body.

Step 11

The fleece should now look the same as in the picture.

Step 12

The fleece should now look the same as in the picture.

Step 13

After securing the thread with a couple of half hitches begin to trim the fleece to the rounded shape. I find that cutting in the direction away from the hook eye helps achieve a better control over the finished shape.

Step 14

The front and side view of the finished trimmed body.

Step 15

Take another modest pinch of CudaFleece (untrimmed) and secure in the same way as you have tied in the rest. The amount of CudaFleece needed for the lip is only to help give support to the silicone when added later.

Step 16

Pull all of the fibres forward and down so that the hook eye is forced through the fibres.

Step 17

Bring the thread over the top and forward of the newly added CudaFleece

Step 18

Make a couple of turns of thread to keep the CudaFleece fibres in position.

Step 19

Whip finish the head and trim the thread.

Step 20

The beard of CudaFleece fibres should resemble that of the picture.

Step 21

Add a moderate amount of clear silicone working it well into the trimmed CudaFleece body and smooth out evenly over the body of the fly. This will help to hold air in the body making the finished fly more buoyant. Dipping your finger into some photo rinse aid will help to achieve a smooth finish. (Don’t use saliva from your mouth as the silicone may be toxic or unpleasant at worse).

Step 22

Now add silicone to the beard of CudaFleece to form the lip.

Step 23

The silicone is pushed into the fibres with finger and thumb where it is also worked into shape.

Step 24

The silicone is pushed into the fibres with finger and thumb where it is also worked into shape.

Step 25

Add the stick on epoxy eyes (5mm silver holographic or similar) before you add the second coat of silicone.

Step 26

Trim the lip to shape. It may be easier to achieve the rounded shape by firstly cutting it square then cut off the corners to form an octagon before cutting the lip to the finished round shape.

Step 27

Apply a second coat of silicone to seal in the eyes and give a smooth finish to the body and the lip.

Finished

The finished fly ready for use.
