Here's a couple of poppers I finished up yesterday. Plan to use them for bass, chain pickerel, pike. Might even fish them in salt water.

Is that a foam body with UV resin?

Thanks, Vincente. Permanent markers not paint. They should hold up pretty well. There's a coat of thick UV resin on the inside of the head which should help. Like any foam body, a critter with teeth will leave an impression. I don't think anything in fresh water will bite the tail off, but in saltwater a bluefish could definitely remove the tail.
