Big Popper Revival
Hooked again's thread got me thinking. The next plug building fad???.......and why not, nobody uses them anymore, but once upon a time everybody sold them so the demand must have been high....and likely for a good reason.
Have at it.

Nice poppers George. I've always liked the big poppers as well. Peter had a few that I really thought were cool . Might have to go over and check them out again...just have to figure out how to get home  ! |

The Emerson and Ruhren popper is pretty cool looking Numby.
I think I saw it at SWLLC.

I'm looking forward to giving this a shot. I like the old school look of this type of plug. The glitter on the back of my plug is very thick, was this done for a reason? Or just the way they did it wat back when.

I've got access to the Cap'n Bill's popper and a swimmer, I'll take some measurements and post the drawing. Try to use my X-ray vision to see what's inside. Need to do something for all the help I've gotten here  |

I'm diggin that cuttyhunk popper might try making some of these big poppers this winter. I messed up the slope on one of my pikies and ended up cutting the head off to save some material, already looks like some of these 
Thanks for posting this George |

Hey guys,
New here, and I wanted to show off some of the first poppers i made earlier this year for Muskies. I'm still a newbe, this being my second season building. i took the liberty of trying out some flames and marbling techniques on these.
Thanks for taking a look

Cap'n Bill's Popper
Here's the dimensions, could not get my scanner to work so no drawing for now.
Measurements are from tail forward in 1" incr.
7 1/8" overall (top) 6.75" (bottom)
Tail .620
1- .700
2- .920
3- 1.10
4- 1.22
5-7 1.28
rear hook at 2"
front hook at 5.25"
Weighting: It's a popper, not hard to figure! I'm going to start w/ 5/16 x 1" tail weight and 00 in belly just in front of rear hook!
Enjoy!!
