Great Videos! Thanks.

[@metiefly]

Fantastic - thanks again for your great tutorial. Great handiwork!

[@mistiromoon]

Well done! Very nice!

[@alienxyt]

Really cool. I Used to make popper like that out of cork when I was a kid.

[@ThomasR099]

Very thorough, a joy to watch! i'll be trying my hand at some poppers i think :)

[@tightlinevideo]

Yes you can. The foam bodies are also available in different shapes and sizes that are better suited to freshwater species, the build techniques are exactly the same.

[@MrSportsphoto]

Very cool!

[@tightlinevideo]

Yes! Hopefully this fall if all goes according to plan. Jersey shore and maybe Cape Cod.

[@AngryLS1]

If you find while using epoxy that your flies have rough spots and bubbles, switch from 5 min epoxy to devcon 2 ton. Takes a while to dry but looks much better. :) great tutorial. I cannot wait to try it out.

[@tightlinevideo]

You absolutely can. They look a little different that way, like they've been put on later, but still fine. You still really need to watch out for the edges lifting.

[@chchecortez6604]

wooooowww estupendo trabajo saludos ¡¡¡

[@papajuanxxlll]

Yes it is an addiction,,,lots of Poppers,,thanks

[@mauricebrown9094]

do you have to use some sort of primer for the popper bodies first., before your color coats?? I don't want it to soak in and look like crap.. thankyou ...

[@sabiangriffin3713]

The copic airbrush system is quite affordable, only about $35-$40. However, the copics themselves are not. They are high quality alcohol markers. A 12 pack is about 100 bucks. You can buy other not great alcohol markers for really cheap, but copic is the orvis of markers

[@KirkDiet]

Tightline, great looking poppers. I find that the Copic is tacky for a couple few hours but dry pretty solid after that. I'm no chemist but seems like alcohol would evaporate even on a slick surface. I coat my hard foam poppers with Gesso and then give a coat or two of acrylic paint in Metallic Pearl color. With the transluency of the markers, the sheen of the metallic pearl gives a nice effect to the bug. Don't know if its these base coats or not but I haven't had a problem with the drying.

[@Posavina985]

Hello Nice video. i like it verry much. wich airbrush do u use? price? where can i buy it? greetings from Sweden

[@danz2994]

nice popper... looks way better than mine ended up but it definitely worked... although it is a pain in the ass to cast.

[@leegriffin1229]

Were did you getting that spraying setup from? Looks good!

[@herbkettlehutjr9674]

Great looking popper. Do you think a scooped out face is useful or is to hard to cast?......Thanks

[@andyost4906]

Top 👌👍✌

[@beekeeper1988]

Can you give me a link to the poper bodies and the rest onf the materiasl that you sed in finishing them. Thank you

[@MicahsArtShack]

can you use it in fresh water for pike,muskie, and bass

[@flyfishjones]

Are you gonna make some salt-water fishing videos soon? I'd love to see that popper in action.

[@aselarodriguez3441]

.

[@darko7318]

Where can i find those poper bodies and that painting things

[@carlosasosa4293]

Wowww very nice! Would you sell them ? We don’t have anything like that here in Mexico

[@seanmooney3907]

I really don't understand why you cannot wait until after the 5 minute epoxy to put on the stick on eyes, and then cover them over with more when you attach the tail. It seems a lot of work to put them on and tape them. Just a thought. All the best, Sean

[@AnglingAddictssrilanka]

would this popper have enough weight for casting?

[@bassattack939]

Where did u buy the paint sprayer

[@mauricebrown9094]

where do you get a painting system like that these days ????

[@mauricebrown9094]

Maurice Brown that's ok I found one

[@kzookid2051]

Google search pulls up a good number of sources, as well as Amazon, Ebay and many local art stores. For those who didn't find one three years ago. ;)

[@gravityalwayswins1434]

Dynamite 2 part tutorial tlv. Thanks alot

[@andrewkaiser6170]

I bet you could use uv cure resin for the body finish

[@tightlinevideo]

I've tried it and it works quite well. It however is way to expensive to be practical for covering such large areas as a popper (at least for me). I'll stick with epoxy until I win the lottery.

[@timeflies2550]

Where can I buy some already made poppers??

[@ardush1]

how much grams whey are?

[@bennyrosado5402]

yes very additive lol!!!

[@cobone04]

Why not put the eye's at the end of the painting.?

[@bassmember876]

look on ebay

[@RustyShacklefardd]

Shoot I’d start selling them if I invested that much

[@joshyoung1623]

........umm eyes on last? this would be a TON simpler

[@spanky8532]

Ummm.... The eyes wouldn't adhere as well on a painted surface versus on the actual foam....

[@joshyoung1623]

im sure with Loctite or zap a gap it would adhere just fine.

[@samerckenbrack]

Why didn't you paint it then put the eyes on that would have been so much easier
