Yeah, I've got several Pop-R's in both sizes.  You can get the same basic lure (same shape), from Jann's Netcraft, under a different name.  Just add split rings and hooks, about $2.50 / ea.  Some in colors you can't get locally.

Nice work!

Allen... I think if ya could have only one top water lure, for me it would HAVE to be the Pop-R! In at least two sizes.

Nice!  I have just the setup for that, almost the same line, except I usually got with 8 lbs mono or flouro for a leader.  I've got several Pop-R's as well :)

These fish paired with really light tackle are a hoot! Light but not whippy, you need some backbone to fight them in the current. We were spooled up with ten pound test Power Pro and had a six pound test leader of fluorocarbon on. She was using the ultimate Smallmouth top water lure... a small Rebel Pop-R.

There you go. Great smile for the first fish. Fly missed out..spinning takes lead.
