I've been working (SLOWLY) on a batch of poppers for a Panama kayak fishing trip in February. I started with 4 GT poppers and 3 of the next size down (blabbermouths??). I have to do all my sanding and priming outside because I live in an apartment. The weather has been terrible here in NJ, so it has taken me forever to get these things going. So much so that I began to focus on the GT poppers because I was afraid I'd run out of time. So here's some pics of my process, just for kicks. Painting next!!! bananalama
more pics...
Very nice so far. Keep taking pics LOL
nice andy good luck in panama
Looking good so far. Enjoy the Panama trip! Good luck fishing.
I cut 600 of these today. That's been a pretty good popper! It's a decent size for a 30-50lb standup rod.

I like them so far. I've painted 2 and have 2 to go. I am going to try to make them light though. Gonna try using them with a 30lb rod.
Been really lazy this winter. I am running out of time. I got the grommet and eyes in two of them. I'll let them cure a few more days and then clear. :)
SLICK!
I got around to clearing one and painting another today. It took me about 8 hours to do all the masking on that one plug. Pizza time!!! bananalama
Andy as always you got some mad skills! Looks awesome!
