I'VE SEEN SOME PELLET FLIES FOR STOCKED TROUT BEFORE AND THEY WERE MADE TWO DIFFERENT WAYS. THE FIRST WAS AS BASS JUNKIE SAID ,FOAM TIED OR GLUED TO THE HOOK SHANK THEN TRIMMED TO SHAPED. YOU NEED TO WRAP THE SHANK OF THE HOOK WITH THE THREAD KIND OF COARSLY AND TIE IT OFF. THEN CUT A PIECE OF CRAFT FOAM TO THE SHAPE THAT YOU WANT. NEXT, USE A SMALL NAIL AND PUSH IT THROUGH THE CENTER OF THE SHAPE. NEXT PUSH THE FOAM OVER THE HEAD OF THE HOOK TO MAKE SURE IT WILL FIT. LAST, WET THE THREAD ON THE HOOK SHANK DOWN WITH SUPER GLUE PRETTY GOOD AND SLIDE THE FOAM IN PLACE QUICKLY AND YOUR FINISHED.THE GLUE WILL NOT STICK VERY LONG ON A BARE HOOK SHANK. THE SECOND WAS TYING THE COARSE BUCK TAIL (OR SPINNING AS IT'S REFERED TO) AROUND THE SHANK AND THEN TRIM TO SHAPE. TROUT PELLETS ARE USUALLY SMALL CYLINDERS SO BOTH WAYS WORK EASILY .BUT, TO MAKE A SPHERE OR BALL IT WOULD BE EASIER FOR ME TO SPIN SOME HAIR AND TRIM TO A BALLTHAN TO SHAPE A BALL FROM FOAM.BUT IF YOU CAN FIND A FOAM BALL MADE IN THE SIZE YOU NEED IN THE KIDS CRAFT SECTION THEN THE FOAM IS EASIER. HOPE THIS IS HELPFUL,WES
