I have tied up a few of these in white/blue and green/yellow and they have worked really well. They have held up to some pretty good beatings and worked on bass, trout and even on some saltwater fish! Thanks for putting this up its an awesome pattern!

Hey Ben,

I just tied up a couple of these to test them out. Pretty sweet,and simple flies. I used bucktail for the tail, and added superglue to the hook, and the foam after I secure it to the hook. It really keeps the foam from wanting to spin as I tie in the legs. Looks like it will have a lot of action on the water, and I have personally witnessed the pop this fly produces. Can’t wait to get it onto the water this spring!

Nice work! Thanks for the quick turn around. This looks do-able for me, I’ll shoot you images when I get time to tie a few up. Our off-season begins Oct 1st….

Thanks. I look forward to seeing if it works. I do not bass fish too much, but every time I’m standing on the bank I’m wishing I had some kind of popper. Hopefully this will fit the bill. Thanks again.

Looks “fishy” enough to me – like the story behind the name.
