With the "Maggot Balls" do you glue the tread bass?  I could see it spinning on the hook....

Greg, make sure you use ultra chennile,regular chennile will burn up

Comment by Greg McWilliams on January 13, 2012 at 6:31pm

Dave, How do you keep your box so TIDY???

I also see some LIGHTNINGBUGS!!!! Good show, I will be trying the MAGGOT BALLS!!!!

Comment by Eddie Mathis on January 12, 2012 at 12:58pm

Mark those are great looking poppers , and Dave I like that magot ball. I tie the predator also it is pretty deadly on big Gills.

Comment by dave kensinger on January 12, 2012 at 12:34pm

Greg, yes i use them on creeks and stillwaters,if im searching for big gills ill use them as a dropper behind a predator ,any where from 18 inches to 36 inches depending on the water. this picture is what i call a predator

Comment by Mark Stine on January 11, 2012 at 9:18pm

 Hey Greg, takes a two to four hours to turn out a batch of poppers.  Not counting the time for paint and other finishes to dry

Comment by Greg McWilliams on January 11, 2012 at 8:34pm

Dave, I like the Maggot Ball!!!! Do you use it mostly on streams???

How about stillwaters????
