How do you tie a fly popper?
To tie a fly popper, you will need a hook, thread, dubbing, and some flash material. First, thread your hook and tie in a small clump of dubbing at the hook bend. Then, tie in the flash material and wrap it around the hook shank. Tie off the flash material at the hook eye and whip-finish the thread. Coat the dubbing with Zap-A-Gap and quickly slip the narrow end of the popper head over the hook. Push the popper body onto the hook and make sure the ends are uneven to create a natural look. Finally, use your bobbin to stick a hole through the Seducer Popper Body and coat your thread base with superglue.

How do you fish a popper?
To fish a popper, cast the lure out into the water and wait for the rings to form on the surface. Then, give the popper a few quick jerks and pauses by twitching your rod tip. This will cause the popper to “pop” and create a commotion on the surface that will attract fish. Once you have the fish’s attention, give the popper a few more jerks and pauses to keep them interested. You can also experiment with different retrieve speeds and pauses to see what works best. Remember to keep your line tight and watch for strikes.
