First BlueGill Poppers
Pictured are my first attempt at Bluegill poppers. I glued two, 3mm foam sheets together and cut them out with a drill and a cutting set I bought from Harbor Freight. The hook is a size 8, R-200 Tiemco hooks. Please feel free to criticize and tell me how I can improve them. I can take it.

THE ONLY WAY TO IMPROVE THESE IS TO HAVE A FISH HANGING OFF ONE OF EM. LOOK GREAT TO ME and I've never made one of my own . Good job !

Good job on the poppers Bruce. I got some popper material but have to learn how to tie the feathers and stuff on the back.
