The only reason I asked was I never seen cork that shape before unless he done a lot of work to them.

Mark;; I like your set up;; great idea using clothspins..  I have; used masking tape; slit cut a few places; painted it; came out looking descent; for a first try.  Im still learning buddy !!  and ; yea;; it does take more time; more work; to make a popping bug;; but very well worth it!!  I have several bugs; to try making this winter-- great past time for a winter project !   and thanks again;; for getting me into making them !!

Bruce, haven't made a tutorial yet  but I have shared some details on the site,  Carl I use an airbrush but, favorite effects come from using netting spraying through a comb etc.  This is a high tech jig I use to hold the netting on the poppers as I spray 

I am inspired by some of  the catalogs featuring fishing lures lots of color schemes there.  Also I try to have an eye for what I'm trying to imitate.

These are available at a local bait store in Virginia and I pick a few up every time I go in........my dad and a few others in my family have done great in the Louisiana marsh on Mark's poppers.......they look even better in person..........
