BilletHead Posted July 7, 2014 Author Posted July 7, 2014 Thanks all for your kind words and input. I guess you all know by know this would be my favorite fighting fish. That first few runs are awesome. When they are ready to give up they do and it takes some time to revive them which I take my time to do. If bluegill got this big I would change my mind Working up another batch of these poppers. Painted and ready for epoxy, epoxied and on the drying wheel and then dried and ready to dress up. Two are made with a single 2/0 popper hook and then one will have a prop and treble or single hook. The other will be a treble or single hook only. They both have a wire rig through the body. I may do a step by step if anyone is interested.

Flysmallie Posted July 7, 2014 Posted July 7, 2014 All this does is make me feel like I need to get busy!! I've been slacking. I say yes to an SBS. I promised Ness a video on doing it but again, I've been slacking. Have you played with anything that walks?
BilletHead Posted July 8, 2014 Author Posted July 8, 2014 Ok Ronnie I will work up a step by step. Yes I have messed some with a walker but not satisfied yet. Need to do more, still in the experimental stage.

Flysmallie Posted July 8, 2014 Posted July 8, 2014 I've had probably the same results on a walker. Need to get back on it.
Ozark Sweetwater Posted July 8, 2014 Posted July 8, 2014 Hell Yes! Fine work on the popper and the story. http://ozarksweetwater.com
XP 590 Posted July 8, 2014 Posted July 8, 2014 SWEET! You need to lay off the RUSH though, that stuff will fry your brain.
Troutnut69 Posted July 8, 2014 Posted July 8, 2014 Killer story and those poppers are the cats meow!! I'd love to have a few of those in my smallmouth bass arsenal for sure.
ness Posted July 9, 2014 Posted July 9, 2014 Beautiful work! I need to go blow the dust off my workbench and do some more of these. Because some day I just may actually go freakin' fishing John
Wayne SW/MO Posted July 10, 2014 Posted July 10, 2014 Do you have a preference between the popper and the prop lure? Today's release is tomorrows gift to another fisherman.
BilletHead Posted July 10, 2014 Author Posted July 10, 2014 Really no Wayne on preference. Been catching on all of them. From the rain the water has mucked up and the prop popper does have an appealing sound, BilletHead "We have met the enemy and it is us", Pogo If you compete with your fellow anglers, you become their competitor, If you help them you become their friend" Lefty Kreh " Never display your knowledge, you only share it" Lefty Kreh "Eat more bass and there will be more room for walleye to grow!"
