Chocklet's DIY Baitfish Slider Head Kit

Blane Chocklett Slider Head Kits—often referred to in his material systems as DIY Baitfish Popper and Bug Head Kits—are innovative, modular fly-tying component packages engineered by  Blane Chocklett. These kits provide tiers with pre-cut, highly engineered foam shapes designed to construct high-performance surface and sub-surface slider, popper, and baitfish patterns. *1 pack makes 6 Slider heads *Eyes NOT  included Kit includes:  6 slider heads, 6 slider support discs, 6 hooks. Small kit has 30mm hook, Medium kit has 40mm hook & Large kit has 55mm hook. Key Features and Design Mechanics • Pre-Molded Efficiency: Eliminates the need to manually shape, carve, or burnish dense foam heads on the tying bench. • Hydrodynamic Profiles: Built with specific contours that displace water cleanly, allowing the finished fly to slide, dart, and glide effortlessly. • Modular Versatility: Designed to integrate seamlessly with the Chocklett Factory multi-articulated Game Changer wire spine platform. • Aerodynamic Taper: The head forms taper cleanly to maximize aerodynamic performance, making large, profile-heavy flies much easier to cast over long distances. • DIY Customization: Tiers can purchase the component kits to construct heads from scratch, allowing for personalized thread wrapping, color markers, and feather/synthetic integration.  Target Forage and Profiles The kits are engineered to help tiers match the exact silhouettes of critical predatory target forage, including: • Shad and Bunker: Taller, narrower profiles that require specific water-pushing capabilities. • Glass Minnows and Chubs: Sleek, elongated baitfish shapes optimized for quick sliding actions.  Component Integration The slider head kits typically work alongside other proprietary Chocklett Factory components to achieve their signature erratic, non-mechanical swimming motion:  • Support Discs: Internal structural discs (available in Oval Support Disc Kits or Standard varieties) that sit behind or inside the head assembly to actively divert water flow. • Body Tubing: Authentic structural tubing used to keep synthetic or natural fibers flared up, creating a "hollow fly effect" that retains structural bulk without adding casting weight. • Specialized Brushes: Densely packed, stiff-fiber synthetic brushes designed to wrap tightly behind the head to build a firm foundation and control the fly's overall buoyancy.  If you are preparing to tie these patterns, let me know: • What species you are targeting (e.g., smallmouth bass, pike, musky)? • Whether you prefer using natural materials (like bucktail) or synthetics?
