Bobber Poppers

[Panman]

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.

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

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.

[Panman]

Duckster - Nope. Sorry.
