Heres the first popper from my winter batch.. AYC, epoxied magnum screweyes..(gonna threw wire the next ones), createx paint, envirotex clearcoat...

Anyway, I weighted this one with a bit of lead in the tail, but Its my suspicion that i should go with 2 slugs. One in the tail and one in the belly. Ideally I'd like these to just barely sink.

Any thoughts on the slugs?? (When I say slugs I mean black powder bullets.)
.What so you guys use to weight a polaris style popper??

duh.. A picture would help..:smash:

a slug in the arse and a slug in the middle of the fat part of the belly, maybe just need a slug in the belly tho...

Oh. I had a needle that I made last winter whih was those same colors. The bass loved it especially a better one in the fall at Race Point who ate it and is still wearing it I hope.Sigh, sorry but the colors reminded me I gotta do up some more that color.

Thanks salty. Soon there will be a small army of these exeting my garage...
Throwing Timber and I are also working on some dannies... A little trickier than poppers, but we're learning fast.

Your 50# is going to rip the screw eyes out //////////

But the plugs good /////////

I dont believe in that philosophy. I used epoxy in the holes and I bet my knots would fail before the screw eyes.. BUT.... Better safe than sorry, so the next batch is going to get wired. I promise:D

I,ll attack at night when your fishing the drop =====I,ll ho those plugs:cool: :cool:

NICE, add another shot to the middle i think.

Clammer, I'll make one extra just for you.. because I need someone who's specialty is Bloo's:D

first of all nice looking popper Eben.. I weighted mine 1 in the arse and 1 either side of front hook(total of 3) and they pop and spray pissa.. i used 00 buckshot.. They cast nice too..
