Nice poppers and a very nice tutorial Bob. Much appreciated!Originally Posted by CoachBob
However, to say DO NOT try to make poppers out of flip-flop soles is, well......a wee bit crazy.
I readily admit punching foam cylinders out of flip-flop soles and not smoothing them up with a dremel tool do not "look" as nice and slick as the foam poppers in your tutorial, but what do the fish think? Or is the nice, lovely finish for our eyes and not the fish?
For the last several weeks I've been really smackin' river smallmouth bass with poppers I've tied from flip-flop soles. Gritty smallies on the end of my fly line, with a flip-flop popper in their lip is proof enough for me that they WORK!
Just my $0.02.
