    Default Bass Poppers

    I just finished making some small bass poppers out of balsa wood. I found the paint at wal-mart for less than 2 dollars and it is an acrylic paint that cleans up very well. Let me know what you think.

    Beautiful job on the flies, I like the one on the right the blue spots are interesting. I think blue is probably an under used color for popping bugs. What size hook are those?

    Beautiful poppers, thanks for sharing. When I take the time to make really nice poppers, I find that I am reluctant to toss them right up next to submerged trees and brush as I hate to lose them. That's why I switched over to making foam poppers on a Dremel. 2-3 minutes and the body is reay to go so I don't feel so badly if I lose one when a bass dives bak into the brush.

    What size are the bugs and what was the paint you bought at Walmart. Very nice looking poppers.
