Nice! Looks very much like a Crappie Candy Fly.

I tie it in smaller sizes for bluegill and crappie but do know what a crappie candy fly is.

that's an interesting pattern. You say to use a kink shank popper hook to "(make eyes protrude less from the hook.)" Eyes protruding off the bottom of the pattern are what make a Clouser Deep Minnow ride correctly with the hook point up. Why don't you want the eyes protruding?

They still protrude a little so it rides correctly but I think that if the eyes are more in te body it looks more natural. Also it is a lot easier to put them on with the kink shank and they stay on the hook shank without rotating that much compared to a normal hook.
