    Default How about a Popper Swap?

    ***** This swap is closed *******


    This will be a Popper Swap.

    Any material, any size, any color as long as what you tie can be considered a popper. I realize that not a lot of folks tie their own poppers so I will keep this one on the small side. My self and five others making a total of six. This will also help since this is my first attempt at hosting a swap.

    ****** We are going to go with the eight that have signed up so far *****


    Build, paint, tie or what ever you do to make 5 poppers and send them to me by April 1st. I will repackage them and send them back. The lead-time is sort of long since painted poppers take time to dry between tying steps.

    I will email my address and further instructions when we have a full swap.

    Is it ok to use a pre-made popper head or do you have to make your own? Either way I'd like to be in.

    Jim & Adam - you're in. And Adam, any way you do it is fine by me. I use the preformed poppers all the time. I even posted a picture not long ago of a bass I coaxed onto a popper just like you describe. The popper was in the picture stuck in the rod handle.
