Steve P 0 Report post Posted June 23, 2009 Thanks a ton for the quick reply.... but the link doesn't work I keep getting "Internet Explorer Cannot Display This Page" :wallbash: :wallbash: :wallbash: it may just be my computer but I have been trying to find 6mm foam for while now and haven't been able to. I'll keep trying it because I found it on a google search as well but got the same message. Steve Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Philly 0 Report post Posted June 24, 2009 Very nice. I like that color combination. If you're lazy like me you can also use the preformed popper bodies to tie up similar patterns..A pencil popper body will give you a narrower profile similar to a plug they use for salmon and lake trout on the Great Lakes.
