here is another i tyed up this afternoon. by far the best one yet. i need to get a bobbin threader so i can put the legs in the popper body itself. oh and i remembered i had a close up mode on my camera so now you can actually see my work lol.

 

Instead of using a bobbin threader, you can use those dental loops used to pull dental floss between tight fitting teeth.

are you talking about flossers? or the metal tools?

bought some stuff a little while ago at wholesale sports. i got pink rubber legs, same hooks as last time, i couldnt find any for bass poppers, chartreuse floss for skirts, and more eyes.

I looked them up, they are called Dental Floss threaders. I use them to pull legs through foam

thanks smalltownfisherman, i designed that one to be black so its a good night time lue, but also some intense colors, i think it looks cool

Your poppers are looking really great, but one thing I might suggest is that you get some shorter hooks. These ones are just a bit too long for poppers (not to say they won't catch fish). But your poppers are getting much better.

Yeah, it looks very cool! I think those colors are a winning combo.

Good looking flies! I am sure they will catch fish.
