Couple new Poppers with Venturi squirt holes

These are made from AYC... 6 incher weights 2 5/8 oz and the 4.75 inch one weighs and even 2 oz... both have tail weight and one rear belly weight for good castability

Trying a tapered hole to get venturi effect to squirt water upward on retrieve to drive feeding fish crazy... sealed with 2 Ton and topcoated with 2 ton epoxy... 6x 3/0 belly hooks

looking forward to trying them come spring

those are not squirt holes, that is a good use of a miss drilled piece of wood
