I have one question for all you plug builders. Why is it when I look at the plug pictures here all I see Pikies, Swimmers, Needle Fish and Howdies? What about POPPERS? I know first hand that Salty and Big Fish make them. Any one else? I would like to see some pictures if at all possible. Thanks......................Moose

I haven't seen a BigFish popper , where's Guzz?, His poppers are insane:) and Jigman makes some of the nicest ones out there:D johnny

Here's a Guzz copy I posted a couple of weeks ago.

SK :kewl: , Ilike the front loop to be a little bigger, it can be tough trying to get a snap or speedclip through that, very nice work :) johnny

:soon: i've got over a dozen poppers that are getting primed & painted this weekend. Even more in the works too. :wid:

eben, i've seen your poppers hanging in a few people's houses and they look sweet. In november i met some guy on the beach who was throwing one of yours, he claimed to have cauight a 20 pounder on it that morning when the gannets were in. i think his name was mark wentworth? used to own stripersurf?

anyways, don't thrown them poppers out. i'll happily take them off your hands :D

sorry for the interruption.....

Wentworth...great name!;)

Rob I dont doubt it..I just dont throw poppers that much:huh:
mark is a good friend of mine :D

now give me one :devil:

Whats a popper?
:confused:

Here are a few for MooseNuckle....top is a BigFish pencil body painted by the Freak....middle is my first ever plug, a Fatboy approx. 3 oz. and the bottom is another BigFish painted by the Freak.:D

Bigfish,

You got lucky on the top plug because you also got a Striperknight tied tailhook.:D

StriperKnight...that really does make that plug all the more sweeter...what a great collaboration!;)

Heres a few I just finished.

Nice work Fluk!:D

Hey Flukin;
Do I see my name on the blue one? :D Your's is ready to go!:happy:

To all of you builders GREAT WORK !!!!!!!!!
:D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

Mmmmm, poppers :happy: Hey Ratty, remember this one :) Stripers liked it :D

Jigman

Ooooh! Uki! You done REAL good!:D

heres a pic of a bluefish popper i just made with brass screw eyes and dowels there very easy and cheap to make.i used a dremel rotary tool to cup the mouth of the popper and shape it i hammerd a nail for a pilot hole beacause i did not have any drill bits small enough i filled the hole with epoxy (you can use slow set super glue) and screwed the eyes in and let them set.use a big bit and drill weight holes near the rear and front of the plug. you can epoxy split shot or egg sinkers in these holes if you dont have a lead melting pot. use linseedoil for sealer soak the plug for 5min and let dry for a day. spray paint it the color you want.:)

here it is unfinished

here's a few

Jiggy, I think about that day A LOT....you should see what's left of those poppers you gave me, the fish LOVE 'em...Sooner or later I'll learn how to post pics :smash: :) .Nice stuff guys , johnny
