From Drew:
“Here’s the tying video for my “Top Shelf” Hopper. This is the double foam version which is what I use primarily for hopper-dropper rigs. It started as a grass carp pattern based on the foam back humpy and then I added a second layer of foam when I started traveling out west several years ago. I tie this version mainly in sz 10 and 12 mostly. The single foam version tied on a sz 14 Tiemco 2312 hook tying video linked below.”
