Popper Swap

[Bass_Bug]

******* T H I S__S W A P__I S__C L O S E D **********

How about a Popper Swap (foam, balsa or cork bodies)?

Looking for 6 Tyers to tie 2 different popper patterns (6 of each)

Popper bodies can be preformed (Wapsi, Rainy's etc), home made/hand carved - doesn't matter as long as it's foam, balsa or cork.

Poppers can be any size from bream to saltwater/pencil etc.

Sign up deadline: Dec 4th, or the first 6 to sign up
Tying/mailing deadline: Please have in the mail by Jan 4.

Standard swap rules as usual: Recipes, special tying instructions, toe tags with tyers name/handle, SASE for your returned flies, and most importantly for this swap, a proper sized box and return envelope.

Please state size and style for each pattern you'll be submitting by sign up deadline so everyone will know what to expect and how big of box to send.

Address will be sent by PM.

Is a Crease Fly OK? Count me in.

Sz. 6 Crease Flies in Baby Bass and Baby Rainbow Trout colors.

Gig,
Crease fly's are fine. The body material is some kind of foam right? Sounds like it fits the bill for this swap. And if not, well then...I'm the Meister and I make the rules! You're in!!!!

[Gigmaster]

Yes, the body is made from Sheet foam. In fact, other than the tail, that's the only material used, besides Prismacolor markers and epoxy.

Here's what they will look like:

Baby Bass




Baby Rainbow Trout


Or, if you'd rather, I can tie up some of my mini-crease flies, for blugills




Your choice. Which ones would you rather have?

[Bass_Bug]

How about 1 of each size?

[Gigmaster]

I'll start on them tonight.

Don't know if it's a true popper, but it's foam and they fish like a popper, so it works for me. Any size that works will do.

[GLoy]

I would like to get in on this one, been waiting to see a popper swap or have my own...thanks for having this one...
would be doing a very small gill size popper and a large popper for the big fish not sure of exact size or material yet.
