silverbullet32 0 Report post Posted July 9, 2009 Hey guys! I already made up one of my first bass poppers, the Sauk Mtn. Slayer, now onto my next one. I havent came up with a name for this one and it looks kinda crappy because i used black thread. i didnt really know where i was going with this one until i started to use my new flashabou i bought today. please dont rant on me too hard as this is my second day of fly tying, Thanks guys!

Joe Hard 0 Report post Posted July 10, 2009 second day!!! cool you should hold onto some of your first ties for keepsakes and have a look at them years, even months from now. I wish I still had my first few. keep at it!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Arkansas Mike 0 Report post Posted July 10, 2009 Hi, Loren. I've never tied a popper using pre-made bodies, so I'm not the best judge. Nevertheless, considering it's only your second day of tying, I'd say it looks very good. Maybe bring your body and tailing material closer to the popper head so you don't have the gap. The ones I've seen have fuller and longer tails, but I'd be willing to bet yours would trick lots of bass. Good job! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
