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.

Yankee ingenuity I say ! good looking poppers panman.

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 ;)

Buy the ones with the removable posts.
Greg
Nice work Tim. Thanks for sharing.
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.
Duckster - Nope. Sorry.
Tim
i just thought i saw fly tying material in most things i see.. never thought about tying material being in a bobber. good job !
brilliant!!!! haha
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,

Using a paper punch & some electrician tapes the popper now has eyes. How long they last remain to be seen.
Tim
Very nice, very nice indeed.
They are if you have the slip bobber type!!!

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.
