Foam Bass Popper Fly Tying

BUY MATERIALS ONLINE: amzn.to/3f6ORcB
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!

Nice poper!

[@gregkosinski2303]

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

[@yepyepuhhuh]

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!

[@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!

[@mr.robinson1982]

Painted eyes with a Sharpie is quick & easy

[@rdo6566]

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

[@marklinder432]

Good job as usual.

[@jtwhicker]

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

[@midisax]

Nice!

[@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

[@Nwvibes42]

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

[@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.

[@davisracquet]

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

[@Connor.W.Fishing]

Where do u find the foam heads

[@draven3838]

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

[@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.

[@winkallen5654]

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