What is this called



Does anyone have any history on this type of plug?

Thanks

All truth passes through three stages.
First, it is ridiculed.
Second, it is violently opposed.
Third, it is accepted as being self-evident.

It could be an inch long or 5 inches long. A dime or something to guage size would help.

That said, my first thought was a fly rod popper.

It's a fly popper. i've tied dozens of them. Range fro 1/2 in to 2 1/2 in. Pain to cast with anything under 8 weight but sure do work nice.
