Guest Report post Posted July 3, 2018 No have pink or purple hackle feathers so tried to improvise by dubbing the kids hair piece fibers instead. Worked out but the stuff is very slick so had to dab head cement to guarantee....Made the poppers outa dense foam from AC packaging I ran across. I guess there's lots of stuff you can spin and dub....This stuff wouldn't work for short hackle though too stiff trimmed short. Fiber as dubbing for hackle....

Jim P 0 Report post Posted July 4, 2018 Good looking poppers and thanks for the tips. Can you tell me more about the foam you are using? I switched from saddle hackles to synthetic mixed dubbing last year and have found the synthetic materials are much more durable. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gene L 0 Report post Posted July 4, 2018 Jim P, flip flops make great poppers. And cheap, and in various colors. They aren't necessarily pretty, at least the way I tie them, but they catch a lot of fish. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks Gene for the input, Denduke's foam is a bit thicker than most of the "flip flop" foam we all have access to. He seems to be making some big poppers there. Just curious about the source.

Guest Report post Posted July 4, 2018 Ain't got a clue what the foam is called found it on AC shipping crate. Tried one with fiber, crystal flash and flashbo in the dub. Legs for ole bucketmouth. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
