Cosgrove Micro Poppers...sorta
Two, maybe three seasons back I got a selection of micro poppers from Jim Cosgrove. I was impressed with them, and the fish hit the things with some gusto.. Heres an attempt at recreating them.
I need a sharper edge on my cutter, though; the edges arent smooth. Kinda crude, these should work.

TO punch these out I used a piece of 3/16 stainless tubing, which I sharpened. I need to put a finer edge on it.

The hook is size 10, some of those Mustads I got from you.
I opened the gape just a bit to accommodate the popper body.
