POW!

Screwed out at lunch to test a popper in a nearby river (which was humping)

Third cast... POW. Nice rats nest and plug goes bye-bye.

I guess on the bright? side, the plug wasn't quite there yet, so no big loss.

As an aside this stupid little popper has given me all kinds of grief. F'd up on a few turnings, f'd up the face on a few... now cast one into oblivion.

How much is a SS popper anyway?

I lose more plugs in testing than actual fishing.

So you test 99.99% of the time you cast and fish only that 0.01% time that a fish decides to eat your lure?

Given the diversity of the human species, there is no “normal” human genome sequence. We are all mutants.
