yea dick,the underbody is lead tape with mylar tubing stretched over.like a zonker upside down tho.those gray hackles should give a swimming motion and with the hook riding up it should be easy to get up and over snags.that is the cool thing about flies is they are designed to do certain things not always to just look like a bug.

Good work Mark. I've never done more than plain paint my poppers, then use a tooth pick to paint the eyes. Your art work in amazing.

I do airbrush and sometimes just brush. I used a cotton swab for the eyes. This is a poor picture the background robs a lot of the color.

Holy moly! You use a lathe machine for the popper head?! Is the head made of solid plastic tubing or wood? You are truly awesome since you're painted that head. Just plain awesome!
