Default The Bobber Hopper

FWIW Racing balsa weighs 4 pounds per cubic foot. So this light weight
flimsy, easy-to-break balsa is still twice as heavy as your durable foam! I
totally agree! Why oh why can't we buy light weight, easy-to-form, cheap
foam for our flies? ARRRRGH!

So I forgot to explain.....the only sources for 2lbs per cubic
foot foam I have ever found where wholesale only.
So you have to buy a couple hundred bucks worth to get it.
I look periodically, on Google, Thomas Register, etc.

But I have never yet found a retail source for this stuff.
Wake up wholesalers. Buy the right stuff.
