Fred H. 0 Report post Posted April 19, 2009 WILD!! What's the body of the fly? GOTTA KNOW!!! The popper body is made from a single piece of foam I bought from Michaels . They come in a bag of ten and are called " foamies shapes". They look like big mashmellows. I shaped it with a dremel tool and colored it with prisma markers and then sealed the deal with some 2 ton epoxy. The extra time and effort are totally worth it .This bait is deadly on big bass.

mlwebb 0 Report post Posted April 20, 2009 That fly deserves a name - something like "Larry" or "Fred" Very nice. Michael Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fred H. 0 Report post Posted April 20, 2009 Thanks for all the nice comments guys. As for naming the fly , I promissed myself not to do that again unless I have a fly go commercial or make a magazine. Anyway I think its a decent concept for a fly and if a company ran with the idea and injection molded some foam frog heads I think they would do well. Take away the head and the rest of the fly is like any other slider or popper . Shaping the head by hand is time consumming , but worth it for now.
