Kirk Dietrich 0 Report post Posted April 14, 2013 Those are looking good! I like the little bass one. What did you coat the foam with? Looks like a glossy coat of some kind, is it flexible? Kirk Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
flpanfisher 0 Report post Posted April 14, 2013 Very nice looking poppers. I used to turn cork, but the quality of the cork I had was poor and took a lot of filling. Now I just use the foam. I got the cutters and turners from Steve Winters several years ago and it is much easier to work than cork or balsa to me. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just in case anybody's interested, Steve Winters can be found by Googling "Sleazy Steve" or the Soggy Bottom Fly Shop. His cutting and turning tools are great and he's a lot of fun to talk to.

johngunguy 0 Report post Posted May 10, 2013 A friend of mine wanted some blockhead poppers and being cheap I wouldn't buy the pre-made heads. These were cut out of foam letters you buy for kids from the dollar store. Once put on the hook they are coated with Fabric Fusion to make them shiny, same for the foam crickets.
