Poppers
Working on painting them the last few days and will have a few tied up hopefully for the weekend. Most are bass sliders and and bluegill poppers. What are your best colors and tailing materials on poppers.
My top producing colors for bass poppers are as follows:
All Black
Chartruese with some white and black (basically a fire tiger popper)
All white or all yellow.
If I were limited to one color popper for bass it would probably be all black
For painting poppers, I usually string several bodies on a piece of thin wire and hit them with a few spritzes of spray paint on the backs of the poppers. Once they dry, I add any other markings I want either with model paint or markers and give the finished popper body a coat of 60 minute epoxy after it has been mounted to the hook. Then adding the tail, collar ect. is a piece of cake. If you fish poppers a lot, especially where big bass hang out, it's much easier to create an assembly line operation for your popper making. It will cut the production time by about 75% when compared to completing one popper at a time start to finish.
Just my two cents worth.

For Bass I like all black or all Red... They seem to be the best for me, both with white and black eyes... For perch/bream I like chartreuse, yellow, and white... all three are good colors and will draw strikes... all with white and black eyes. All the hologram eyes and that kind of thing are a waste of time in my opinion.
