| Lures, Lure Building, & Fly Tying If you use it to catch fish (or at least try), then this is the place for that. If you actually make them, then we really want to hear about your styles and successes. |
What have you got to say about the topic of: "Heavy weight Popper". Here's how is started: "Here is a special order popper I got from someone down in the Gulf of "

| Heavy weight Popper Here is a special order popper I got from someone down in the Gulf of Mexico. He wanted a black acrylic popper that was 3.5 oz. This is what I came up with: He's using it for throwing at Breaking Tuna with heavy spinning gear. How's it look? Armand Last edited by RI Popper; 03-03-2007 at 04:45 PM. |

| Saw some the other week from Japan but they were in the 6-8 oz size. Have to throwwith spectra though or the lure won't work right. Too much stretch in mono. |

8 oz. that's crazy, what kind of pole do you need to throw it?? Telephone Pole. I could make them that heavy but WOW didn't think there would be a need. Thanks Daryl Armand | |

| Yeah, sounds crazy. But when you see a 100 lb yellowfin crash it it's awesome. I did have a hard time casting it too. 130 lb shock cord tied to a spool of 100 lb spectra on the Shimano Stella. Felt like the tip of my finger was getting peeled of. And yes, addicting this is. |

| Looks good Armand! Almost as big as the swimmer I showed you. Got one here I'm working on (maple) pushing 10 ounces. Casting it with a Lami SB121-5M and a Newell 229-5. Casts a mile and without much effort.
