These foam bodies allow you to tie the Hookup Gurgler (please see my instructional video) or tie more realistic looking regular gurglers. You can purchase them as blanks or you can buy them with the trimming, primer, eyes and airbrushing already done by me.
The popping tail has realistic shrimp contours and the 5mm foam is thick enough that you can thread the antenna through the foam and out the nose like a real shrimp.
Pre-finished includes 4 bodies per pack, so $8 for 4 finished bodies with eyes.
Blanks included 8 blank foam bodies per pack, so $4 for 8 blank bodies (You can choose either all tan or all black foam blanks, no mixing and matching). You will have to use scissors to trim the cut on either side of the face and two cuts on the tail if you want to contour the foam blank. Just use your scissors to make a bevel cut on either side of the nose and an angled cut on either side of the tail.
