Enough ado about the Miyawaki Popper. If you don't want to spend the $9.95, then don't. The laws of economics will take care of that issue for all. As for myself, I've spent many a U.S. Greenback on multiple Adams, Stimulators, Comparaduns and what have you that either have snapped on the back cast (maybe I'm not a good caster), fallen to oblivion after a long day of fishing or just plain have the hook snap on me with a good take. I would surely invest in some odd $10 on an imitation that carries with it the durability and success that the Miyawaki Popper boasts. The law of averages evens it out, and is worth it, if one can fish that one imitation several dozen times over, rather than purchasing cheap imitations that only last a few takes. On a side note, I'm not a post Reagan politcally correct adherent, but even though Miyawaki is a surname most relevant to the Japanese culture, and though I do not know him persona! lly, from what I have read, Leland Miyawaki is an American fly-angler before he could just be referred to as a "Japanese fellow".

I think that Leland being referred to as a "Japanese fellow" was
done so with admiration, not just to be referring to him as just some Japanese
guy. That's the way I read it any way. I think that everybody on this list
has nothing but the utmost respect for Leland and values his opinion a
great deal.
