Dude SA is on my traveling bucket list! If you are missing fish on these add another cut hook up front, sharpen the hooks and smash down the barbs.

[@dhal22]

I’ve used a Hula Popper for decades and still do .

[@AdventureAllan23]

what hooks do you eventually upgrade to? or do you sharpen regularly?

[@cerebraltackle]

Old school. I refurbished a couple of fly rod Hulla Poppers for smallmouth. Love those things.

[@AdventureAllan23]

I had a fly rod for a bit and enjoyed it. I would like to re-learn to fly fish out of a kayak and do exactly as you said

[@cerebraltackle]

@@AdventureAllan23 it's a blast, especially for river Smallies.

Have you played around with different hooks a little more over the year? I have just modified mine as per your video. I would like to see if I can find some thinner wire hooks for a little weight savings and maybe a little more natural presentation . I ended up with owner 1/0 round bend trebles hooks and cut one of the hooks off. The wire on these things are thick heavy duty wire and working with a spinning rod in medium action I think I would do a little better on hook set with a thinner wire hook. Something like the original hooks but in a bigger size.

[@AdventureAllan23]

I totally agree that a lighter wire = better hook up. I havent played around with it much. I moved, so I have had far less time on the water

[@fitcwebb]

Have you done this type of hook modification on a Jitterbug also?

[@AdventureAllan23]

Absolutely, but I run a pair of cut doubles, I often run a pair of cut doubles on Hula Poppers if im missing small fish, but you get killer splashing without that front hook. Im kinda day dreaming about trying a 3/0 Gamagatsu Frog Hook on one. Black/Blue/Black 3/0 frog hook over flooded grass and trees
