hi guys,
i think i finally found something that makes me want to break my, "no foam," tying.
did anyone ever hear of a articulated bottoms up?
(here is a brief description of a bottoms up, assuming you haven't heard of one)

2 large hooks (#2)

1st hook
marabou tail, little flash, foam popper head, large soft hackle, popper head, hackle, tie off

2nd hook
extra large lead eyes, mono (to tie hooks together) beads to separate hooks, marabou, some more flash, chenille, large hackle, wrap forward like a woolly bugger, long dangling legs on both sides, tie off, done.

when pulled, then allow to settle through the water, it produces a "gallop," tail points up, jerk it, and it will arch beautifully...

my problem is the foam poppers, i don't have any, and don't want to spend 10$ for 4.... i am going to guess there are alot of substitutes, any suggestions?
always learning,
spoof
