FYI-Try the fly on some other sharks. The Blues take them-but we try not to catch them

We have changed from using an integrated popper fly to a popper unit that can be used in conjunction with a large Mako deceiver. The larger the Mako-the more it wants a bigger bait and the addition of a huge popper head makes a difference.

The posted image shows a Clacker Popper head. It features a flared brass tube with two foam faces. In between is a large solid bead with metal ferrales and painted eyes.
This bead slides back and forth on the brass sleeve and clacks as you pop the fly during the retrieve. Rude by effective.
