Beautiful, Mark. Have you ever created a tutorial for these?. I've made some and they are even close to yours, but they caught a few small mouths.

Mark, these are some of the very best I've seen.  I'd be climbing trees to get one of those out of the branches.

That's what I always used was Createx. I probably have 30 bottle's of dried up stuff put up with the air brush.

Mark at any rate I don't think you'll run out of poppers any time soon.

Dick I like Createx acrylics because you can spray them right out of the bottle but use the Delta Ceramcoat etc. from the Walmart but has to be thinned with water.

I have a couple Iwata's put up somewhere haven't used them for long wouldn't know where to find them. I'm assuming you used acrylic with a clear coat. Nice job on the poppers.

Here is a peak into my popper box.

Bruce, I will work on a tutorial,

John, my favorite hook size is #6 mustad 33903 big enough to cull out some of the smaller bream. I will some times use #8 but have never gone smaller.

Dick, I airbrush quite a bit, I mostly use a Badger SG 100 aorbrush which only holds about 4 drops of paint at a time, I also use a Paasche VL when I paint larger areas or do a big batch of poppers (I usually make 10 to 20 of the same pattern at a time). I see online that a lot of popper makers like the Copic airbrush which uses a color that appears to be a highlighter/marker.
