surfsideperson,

What size of popper flies do you like to cast? I've had my best luck on slender/long bodies. But recently bought some larger heads to try.

I found this one at i fly anglers edge, by the galleria i have no idea what it called but it sure works great, i will post up pics of the reel and rod and fly i use and have been using.

 

[deebo]

yes, that would be great if you could post up the fly. I always have a hard time finding a good popper.

 

[bslittle79]

Thata work. I can't wait to try the new flies I picked up off of ebay. Might buy some heads and tie my own with some smaller hooks.

The fly i've been using was tied with some wild hog hair a buddy gave me. Chartruse body and black musky hog hair.

Deebo I'll take a picture of mine for ya. It doesn't give much action, or spray.

Ellis you see that fly? look at that fish!!!

Hey SSP..have my first lesson this Saturday at FTU!! wwoohhoo

 

[OUTLAW]

that's nice

 

[ellisredfish]

Yeah Nurse D,

But I caught a bass this past week that was all of three inches long. That is a nice speck, just right for the skillet. One of my sons gave me a Dremel tool to use in making those foam bodies. I guess I will have to start turning them out. A fellow just left my house with a bunch of flies going to Rockport. If he has any luck, I will post a picture of the flies that caught fish. Now tell me about the gathering at FTU. Did I miss it?

The popper in the pic looks very much like a Rainey Popper. They have a web site with all the different sizes and color patterns.

 

[Kilted Yak]

What size hook on that popper? Thanks.

 

[bdear10s3]

I think the ones I have are all 1/0. Their web site speaks to the different sizes available.....

Righteous Speck man!

Enrico's Flex Poppers 1/0 with Char/head and Char/white tail works great on Sabine Lake it's a big popper and it takes a little getting used to also their not cheap so buy 1 or 2 if you like them learn to make your own.
