I will tell you that many excellent poppers do sink or are tail heavy! My personal belief is that a great popper does not have to float! I have a couple of poppers that sink like stones but the intended purpose is to cast far but more importantly (and I will use the current in the ditch as an example) that the popper has a good popping action, that you can pop the plug hard and it will stay in the water! Particularly a polaris you do not want it being "yanked" out of the water when you are trying to pop it! The heavy tail keeps the plug grounded and acts as the pivot point for the front of the plug to pop or throw water or what ever you want it to do! Remember even a popper that sinks only sinks at rest.....it will still do what it needs to do when you are retrieving it!
