As a dad and grandpa I'm not sure I like the terms "poopers". What do you do with that.

 

[A-5]

[Melvinp]

It takes poopers to catch pickles but you can catch pickerel on poppers lol

Thinking of Henry on the next few glow in the dark

So what are they for and how are they used for that. They don’t somehow look manly.

 

[Melvinp]

Manly what’s not manly about glowing pink poppers (night bite on the river)it takes awhile to make these and things gotta wait for the finger nail polish to dry.

 

[Don]

OMG

So with that great big hook sitting there, begging all weeds to nab on, where and how do you use this device?

That will bring you much praise. White flies are coming, don't forget the white feathers or hackle

Actually the one you made me last year only had a tail, the bass were all over it. I think I still have the body but the tail was chewed off

Nope not really that many weeds in the river normally depends on the water level and why put anything in front of a hook when not necessary and it takes some time to dry the glow in the dark finger nail polish I’m using to dry after that they’ll get tails

You could slap that popper on the edge of the weeds and fill your boat with slab bluegills and crappies

I’d need to try that before I commit to such a design.

White flies usually reach the North Branch of the Susquehanna sometime in early August, might be early this year. It only lasts a couple of weeks but the hatch will move up river. After many years fishing this hatch I believe it's over-rated. It's short lived and the blizzard hatch pretty much ends any effective fishing with too many flies on the water. Much of the action takes place after dark, hence the glow popper.

I think the glow is better to the fisherman than the fish most of the time but pretty handy knowing where your fly actually is
