Foam Bass Popper Fly Tying

In this video, we tie a simple Foam Bass Popper. Foam Poppers are much lighter, float higher and pop better than the painted or lacquered poppers. I actually prefer to fish with foam poppers over the "fancy" painted poppers. Don't get me wrong, I love fancy poppers. They look amazing and are really fun to tie, but there is no doubt in my mind that simple foam poppers are just as effective (if not more effective). These simple Foam Poppers can be used for Largemouth Bass, Smallmouth Bass, Pike, Musky, Wipers, Striped Bass, Peacock Bass and any other aggressive freshwater fish. Foam poppers are always in my warmwater box!

Thank you. I've been wondering how to insert the legs on one of these. Too simple. Video quality is excellent especially for a 7 year old Video.

[@InTheRiffle]

Glad it was helpful!

[@mr.robinson1982]

Painted eyes with a Sharpie is quick & easy

[@Nwvibes42]

What size would you say the popper head is? Medium?

[@jtwhicker]

Do you ever find that some glue completely melts/burns the plastic legs off? Good idea with the knot!

[@davisracquet]

Is Zapagap pretty much the same as Super glue gel from the Dollar Store?

[@rdo6566]

That is an awesome fly! I love it and it's supersample to do!

[@smackedupbaits6862]

Dude thank you for this video! I am new to tying my own jigs etc... And I knew that there would be a way to tie a topwater like this. Aesome video!

[@gregkosinski2303]

Love it! It's like watching Ferran Adria cook a cheeseburger in the best way possible.

[@billybooth6737]

Where did you get your popper bodies you used. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and skills. Just learning to tying flies and jigs.

[@arnoldmarkowitz7517]

The hackle probably won't roll over if you use a barb masher to flatten the quill at the tying in point.

[@draven3838]

Should have tied down your mono then pinched the foam around it

[@Connor.W.Fishing]

Where do u find the foam heads

[@hessexpress6525]

F yea. Thank you sir!

[@homebrew2102]

Nice video. Love the simplicity and get effective. Do you need a rotary vise for things like this and clouded minnows?

[@karllarson5612]

Nope

[@midisax]

Nice!

[@marklinder432]

Good job as usual.

[@scottstubbs9913]

Nice poper!

[@winkallen5654]

Nice but I made one my self and its better than you showed

[@rsa420]

Why dont you cover the hook point in the vice? Surely thats what shape of vice is for? why wind round a sharp point? Hence why some vices have balls as too tiny v points?

[@jonc.5310]

You're clueless.
