Pencil Popper Patterns

Recommended Posts

Are these foam bodies? How do you get them on the hook? Do they just slide over the hook eye, and you cement them in? I've never tied them, and want to try 'em on bass this summer. These look like a fun tie!

 

An easy way to a popper is to prepare foam cylinders with a plastic straw glued in. Thread your tippet through such a cylinder before tying on any streamer, and you have a "composite" popper. The cylinders can be painted into desired colors, but I am mostly using the sticky "metallic" tape sold for the lures. In this case there is no need to use the extra-long hooks which cause lots of lost fish.

Can someone give me more information on the Holographic transfer foil? I never heard of the product. Any help would be great. Thanks BF
