{"product_id":"hareline-double-decker-stack-foam","title":"Hareline Double Decker Stack Foam","description":"\u003cp\u003eHareline Double Decker Stack Foam is a pre-laminated, two-layer closed-cell foam designed for fast, buoyant foam bodies and backs. The stacked construction gives you instant thickness and a clean two-tone profile for terrestrials, stoneflies, big attractors, and warmwater topwater patterns without gluing multiple sheets by hand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe material cuts cleanly with razors or body cutters, resists water absorption, and maintains shape under thread pressure. Color combos are selected to create natural “back and belly” contrast or high-visibility sighters, so you can build stable profiles that float heavy hooks, carry rubber legs, and remain visible in mixed light and rough water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow to Use It\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCut tapered strips or use body cutters to punch out uniform blanks. Tie in with flat thread and moderate wraps to avoid cutting the foam, anchoring at natural segment points. A tiny dab of thin CA or flexible cement at tie-in spots locks the foam without stiffening the entire body. For legs, pierce clean holes with a heated needle or bodkin, then thread silicone legs through so the lamination doesn’t tear. Mark segments with a fine-tip marker, add a sparse dubbing or chenille underbody to control silhouette, and finish with a matching sighter post if desired.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor big profiles like hoppers or chubbies, the laminated stack becomes the upper and lower deck in one piece—no need to glue layers and wait for cure. Trim corners to round, taper the tail with angled cuts, and whip finish through a tiny thread channel ahead of the foam. Save narrow offcuts for anti-fouling tails or spacers under wings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eExample Flies\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChubby Chernobyl: A two-deck foam back built from Double Decker Stack Foam keeps large tungsten-nymph rigs afloat while remaining visible in glare. Cut a long tapered strip for the back, tie in over a dubbed underbody on a 2–3x long hook, and add two sets of barred rubber legs. A bright synthetic wing (white, pink, or chartreuse) between the foam layers adds tracking; the two-tone foam naturally mimics a darker back over a lighter belly and helps the fly land upright.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFat Albert: This high-floating terrestrial benefits from a thick, multi-layer body without stacking loose sheets. Use Double Decker foam for the main body and add a thin contrasting sighter on top. Segment the abdomen with spaced thread wraps, thread in medium round rubber legs at the thorax, and finish with a short, tapered head. The pre-laminated foam trims into a clean wedge that punches through wind and supports dropper nymphs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHopper Juan: Choose a tan\/brown or olive\/black stack to get realistic back-belly contrast in one cut. Taper the abdomen strip, rib lightly with monofilament to reinforce, and add knotted round rubber legs. The decked foam keeps the fly riding high, while the two-tone face and a narrow sighter on top make it easy to track over pocketwater and cutbanks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy We Like It\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt removes the mess and variability of gluing your own foam sandwiches and delivers consistent thickness, buoyancy, and clean edges straight from the package. The laminated colors speed up production tying and create instant contrast, so your patterns look intentional rather than improvised.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn the water, it floats like a cork, resists tearing at leg posts, and recovers shape after fish or forceps. It also takes marker accents well, allowing quick mottling, hotspots, and segmentation without soaking up ink or collapsing around tight wraps.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eComparable Materials\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRainy's 2 mm Foam Sheets and Wapsi Fly Foam offer broad color ranges and fine cell structure, but they require gluing or stacking to match the thickness and contrast you get immediately from Hareline Double Decker Stack Foam. Fly Fish Food’s Evo Foam has a firmer hand and a textured surface that can add grip and durability, yet it still needs layering for chubby bodies. If you want preformed surface heads, Flymen Double Barrel popper bodies are faster for bass bugs, but they can’t replace the versatility of cutting your own stacked strips for hoppers, stones, and attractors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e","brand":"Hareline","offers":[{"title":"5mm \/ Black\/Chartreuse #1","offer_id":49344423887081,"sku":"SKU762820250149","price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"5mm \/ Orange\/Pink #10","offer_id":49344423919849,"sku":"SKU762820250231","price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"5mm \/ Hopper\/Hopper Tan #11","offer_id":49344423952617,"sku":"SKU762820250248","price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"5mm \/ Tan\/Olive #12","offer_id":49344423985385,"sku":"SKU762820250255","price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"5mm \/ Tan\/Pink #13","offer_id":49344424018153,"sku":"SKU762820250262","price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"5mm \/ Tan\/Sand #14","offer_id":49344424050921,"sku":"SKU762820250279","price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"5mm \/ Tan\/Yellow #15","offer_id":49344424083689,"sku":"SKU762820250286","price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"5mm \/ White\/Tan #16","offer_id":49344424116457,"sku":"SKU762820250484","price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"5mm \/ Black\/Purple #2","offer_id":49344424149225,"sku":"SKU762820250156","price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"5mm \/ Sunburst\/Sunburst Orange #3","offer_id":49344424181993,"sku":"SKU762820250163","price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"5mm \/ Brown\/Orange #4","offer_id":49344424214761,"sku":"SKU762820250170","price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"5mm \/ Brown\/Sand #5","offer_id":49344424247529,"sku":"SKU762820250187","price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"5mm \/ Brown\/Tan #6","offer_id":49344424280297,"sku":"SKU762820250194","price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"5mm \/ Brown\/Yellow #7","offer_id":49344424313065,"sku":"SKU762820250200","price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"5mm \/ Olive\/Chartreuse #8","offer_id":49344424345833,"sku":"SKU762820250217","price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"5mm \/ Orange\/BlacK #9","offer_id":49344424378601,"sku":"SKU762820250224","price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0749\/1846\/1673\/files\/hareline-fly-tying-hareline-double-decker-stack-foam-1203277355.jpg?v=1762473855","url":"https:\/\/www.tridentflyfishing.com\/products\/hareline-double-decker-stack-foam","provider":"Trident Fly Fishing","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
