Stop...Popper Time!

Recommended Posts

This design is my favorite popper, a simple frog-like one. I use one olive and black hackle for each leg and tie them in bending out.  These have some wear but they work fine.

This is the last batch of poppers I tied up before I evacuated the city to stay at my sister's house in the burbs.   I learned the style in a class last spring.   I'm doing three sizes.  These are the mid-size ones tied on 3/0 hooks.  Average about 3-3 1/2 inches long.   Intended for bass, pike, chain pickerel in fresh water.  Bluefish and stripers in salt water.

How do you keep those from floating on their sides?
