Folks: What is your favorite way to finish off a popper (the tail etc I mean)??

But I have a lot of poppers that I have completed the heads on, and need some new ideas on how to finish them .

The segmented bodies come out really grubby looking, like molded jigs, but are very durable, shiny, and are easily rope-hackled if that is being effective. I have tied minnow patterns down to about 3/4" long, with just one small clump of AH combed and tapered, with a marker color on top. Glue and pinch eyes to the front just like normal AH Minnows.

Re: [VFB] Attn. Don O.......
WHOA!. That is a lotta different jigs. Bluegills, crappie and bass here would tear those things up. My only problem with jigs, and I hate to admit this after all these years is that all but the tiniest headed jigs are hard for me to cast very far, unless I use my big 'ol 8wt bass road. Specially the ones with the spinner blades cause of the wind resistance I guess. But they are killer flies when I use the ones I can cast (1/8th ounce and smaller on my 4 and 5wt rods). I gotta try to tie some of these. I'll have to break out the 'ol rope dub DVD for a refresher course, but I have been needing to do that anyway. On the real small awesome hair minnow patterns, is the body glued in any way to hold the shape?? Or just combed out and fished "as is"?? Thanks a lot.

Re: [VFB] Fishing
That would probably work great. When I was stationed in the FL panhandle, we used to "rake up" oysters off the bottom of the bays with that setup, so if those tines will grab little oysters, it should grab a fly rod easily LOL..Chuck - Original Message - From: Joyce M Westphal To: vfb-mail@googlegroups.com Sent: Friday, August 10, 2012 11:18 PM Subject: Re: [VFB] Fishing Drill a hole in the end of the garden rake handle so that you can tie a length of rope to it, then go back and use it as a grapling hook..try it and see if you like it. You may have to weight the rake a bit by tying on a piece of rebar. Good luck. I'd not give up for sure.

As a child, I and my sisters would look for fishermen who got mad and threw their rods and reels into the lake. Often there was a bobber attached. We'd wait until they were gone, and then, without my mother's knowledge (none of us could swim) would throw a rock out near the bobber and Shep, the faithful dog, would run out to where the splash was, grab the bobber, and drag the line to shore. By careful pulling we could get the rod and reel close enough that we could wade out and get the pole. Of course, there was always the danger that the dog would get hooked, but we were lucky and he didn't. We quickly learned that a garden rake was the ideal gadget to "fish" for the rod and bring it up. You may want to go back with a long handled garden rake and see if you can't retrieve your lost rod. Just a suggestion. Joyce On Fri, Aug 10, 2012 at 9:59 AM, Alan Di Somma wrote: Got to go fishing with my son and his wife on Wed.

As a child, I and my sisters would look for fishermen who got mad and threw their rods and reels into the lake. Often there was a bobber attached. We'd wait until they were gone, and then, without my mother's knowledge (none of us could swim) would throw a rock out near the bobber and Shep, the faithful dog, would run out to where the splash was, grab the bobber, and drag the line to shore. By careful pulling we could get the rod and reel close enough that we could wade out and get the pole. Of course, there was always the danger that the dog would get hooked, but we were lucky and he didn't. We quickly learned that a garden rake was the ideal gadget to "fish" for the rod and bring it up. You may want to go back with a long handled garden rake and see if you can't retrieve your lost rod. Just a suggestion. Joyce On Fri, Aug 10, 2012 at 9:59 AM, Alan Di Somma wrote: Got to go fishing with my son and his wife on Wed. Big thunder storm was lurking so I took my time getting ready before carrying a lightning rod out on the water. After finally getting out I stared paddling my pontoon boat about 10 or 15 yards out, I looked down and both fly rods were gone. I looked back towards shore and saw one sticking straight up. Went back and got it but was really BUMMED. The one I lost was a Cortland Black Diamond 9ft. 5wt. And a Scientific Anglers reel. After getting my mind cleared I managed to get 4 small mouthed bass on a mosquito. Tried getting down with a sink tip and a wooly worm, but no luck. Stuck with what was working and got two on two casts. The water was like glass after the storm blew over. I've got to find a way to secure fly rods so I don't loose any more. Down to 11 now.
