FEATURES

Deeper cup
The innovative Double Barrel design creates a deeper-than-normal front cup for a louder pop when working your fly! When reversed, it offers a nice recess to bury the body materials of your slider or Sneaky Pete.

Extended top lip
The aggressive top lip of the popper head helps concentrate a bigger “splash” further forwards.

Recessed eye sockets
This unique feature means that 3D fly tying eyes, such as Surface Seducer® Dragon Eyes™ and Fish-Skull® Living Eyes™, can now be securely embedded deep inside the popper head, making for a stronger and buggier-looking fly!

Tail socket
The back of the popper has a recess hole that allows for embedding tailing materials or the rear loop of an articulated shank into the popper.

Popper “skin” 
The Double Barrel is manufactured through an innovative process that creates a smooth, strong outer skin on the popper body. This outer skin is durable and has a naturally smoother, nicer looking finish, which means at the most basic level, there’s no need to paint, decorate, or clear coat your popper. You can simply mount the body onto a Popper Hook, add Dragon Eyes and some feathers for a tail, then go fishing!

Full size range
The comprehensive range of five sizes allow you to create the full spectrum of popper styles being used today to target various species from panfish to sailfish!

• Extra-small: Perfect for tying small panfish and carp flies.

• Small & Medium: Great for tying typical “bass bug” poppers.

• Large & Extra-large: Ideal for tying large saltwater and freshwater predator flies target big game species such as pike, musky, stripers, redfish, and sailfish.
