Bobber Poppers
While browsing our local K Mart I found a pack of 5 bobbers for a buck. You usually see these hanging from a tree or caught on a snag. Anyhow a little super glueand some left over fly tying materials resulted in these poppers. i know this is not an original idea, but there are fun to make and should catch Mr Bass. End cost maybe 15 cents a popper.

Can't beat the price!
Hi Panman,
Whatever floats your hook! The bobbers are certainly a lot cheaper than prepared foam popper bodies. Your poppers look great. 8T :)

Ha, hadn't thought of that, great idea. Now I know what to do with some of my old bobbers with those with broken springs or cracked stems. I usually take and covert them to slip bobber.
thanks Tim for passing that along. gonna go dig in my tackle box and try it out this afternoon ;)

Hint
Buy the ones with the removable posts.

Walmart Crappie bobbers 5 to a package with the pin removed hole filled with a tooth pick cut in half will make 10 poppers. Bobbers are half red and white -- Comal Tackle brand $1.00 per pack. Pick up a 10 pack of Eagle Claw no 4 hooks No202A-4 for $1.00. Two dollars 10 poppers BILL

FYI: I cut the plastic post so that if filled the hole then jammed the hook & post into the hole which made a tight fit - also applied super glue. Used Eagle Claw 214BPF hooks in size 1 and 1/0.

Tim,
Is the plastic post hollow? I would have a different use if they were.

Neat Idea!
Did you ever notice that if you flip the b's in bobber upside down, it will spell popper!
Have a great weekend,

eyes added
Using a paper punch & some electrician tapes the popper now has eyes. How long they last remain to be seen.

NIce idea. I see the bobbers once in a while where I fish.
I have removed some of them, but now will have to try to make these.
