I've been playing with popper weight lately too and i've come to the conclusion that a popper that just about sinks is best. if they are too bouyant, the lure wont look like a natural baitfish, instead most of the lure will sit on top of the water.... just my 10¢
I guess it's all preference but I find a popper that sinks forces you to work it faster which may be suitable in certain situations but not all. I like to have some poppers that are weighted so that the bottom half of the plug is submerged, that way I can work it slow on top (like a wounded rather than a fleeing baitfish) along a jetty or to entice lazy fish to come and get it

Cape Sams those are cheap acrylics that I thin with a solution of water, isopropyl and a bit of dish detergent.

Thanks Guzz, I still owe you a plug, I am slow
