Q: What kind of foam is the Double Barrel made of, and is it hard or soft foam?
A: The Double Barrel is made of an extremely durable soft foam (EVA Closed-Cell Foam).


Q: What types and sizes of fly tying eyes are compatible with the Double Barrel?
A: We have designed the Surface Seducer Dragon Eyes to fit the Double Barrel, but virtually any type of 3D Eyes on the market, including Fish-Skull Living Eyes can be used to create great looking flies!

The Double Barrel's eye size compatibility is as follows:

* Extra-small Double Barrel: 3 mm eyes.
* Small Double Barrel: 3 mm eyes.
* Medium Double Barrel: 4 mm eyes.
* Large Double Barrel: 6 mm eyes
* Extra-large Double Barrel: 8.5 mm eyes.


Q: Which popper hooks fit the Double Barrel?
A: The Surface Seducer Popper Hooks are matched as follows:

* Extra-small Double Barrel: #8 hooks.
* Small Double Barrel: #6 hooks.
* Medium Double Barrel: #2 hooks.
* Large Double Barrel: 2/0 to 4/0 wide gap, streamer hook or use a 28 mm Fish-Skull Big Game Shanks with a trailing hook.
* Extra-large Double Barrel: 5/0 to 6/0 wide gap, streamer hook or use a 40 mm Fish-Skull Big Game Shanks with a trailing hook.

Tip: When tying an articulated streamer using a Fish-Skull Chocklett's Big Game Shank (or as a Tube fly), both methods allow you to use the hook of your choice. We suggest using a short-shank hook to reduce the leverage a hooked fish can exert and you may wish to use a small split ring to connect the articulated shank to the hook. This allows you to easily change out the hook (and tail of the fly) to adjust to different fishing situations and also extend the life of the popper.
