Fly Tying Balsa Popper

[dayonw]

qual é o material q vcs fez o popper é de madeira? qual madeira?

[JustWantNAccount]

@dayonw

Olá :D

Sim é de madeira. Chama-se "Balsa". É a mesma madeira com que se faz modelos de aviões, maquetes de arquitectura, por aí fora. É uma madeira com uma densidade muito reduzida que a faz ser muito leve e macia.

Hi, any type of spray paint, the cheapest one you can find anywhere. You will epoxy everything after so its does not matter :D Just have fun with it.

[i3lovefishing]

what is the size of your H and type? thinks

[JustWantNAccount]

@i3lovefishing

You are refering to the hook right?

Its a number 4 streamer hook. But thats was all i had at the time. You should use a bigger and wider hook.

[gingerflyfisherman]

Awesome poppers!

[Brian22432]

where do you get that balsa wood from?

[JustWantNAccount]

@Brian22432

From airplane models and arquitecture materials shops.

[TFinge]

That would work well down here in Australia as a surf popper for Dusky Flathead and Aussie Salmon, nice job.

[JustWantNAccount]

@TFinge

Thanks. Haaaa to fish in Australia :D

[harobmxable1]

[JustWantNAccount]

@harobmxable1

It was my first time making a popper. I have made another video of a smaller popper. But it was fun to do both of them :D

[nandousio]

[JustWantNAccount]

[Brian22432]

@JustWantNAccount

ah thx.

[Depadeedawg]

Good looking popper. You really put a lot more work into it than most people would.

It should last awhile. Keep up the good work.

[JustWantNAccount]

@Depadeedawg

Thanks, thats part of the fun :D

[arisoftaaja]

Nice vid and that popper can are good when fishing BIG pike in finland lakes or rivers ! Hook size ?! 1- 6 # ?

[JustWantNAccount]

@arisoftaaja

Thanks. Well it should work on pike to. The hook size was a 4#, at the time it was the biggest one i had at home :D

[arisoftaaja]

@JustWantNAccount

Thx that will help me a lot  fo tying popper flyes!

[treyboy1234567891011]

like a fishnet for girls

[JustWantNAccount]

@treyboy1234567891011

Well you can try it but its not the best thing because it stretch and soaks the paint, when you let go of the net it will smudge the the paint. Try those nets that people fasten to the antena of the cars in weddings, thats what i did :D

[treyboy1234567891011]

how do you get that texture on the top???

[JustWantNAccount]

@treyboy1234567891011

Its made with the net. You paint the body and that will be the outline, then you use the net to paint the inside of the pattern. I dont now if thats was clear. In short, you paint once without the net and another time with the net.

Try it out :D

[treyboy1234567891011]

how do you get that texture on the top???

[lazza00]

wow. Amazing popper. I'm sure pike loves it.

[JustWantNAccount]

@lazza00

Thanks. Never tryed it on pike. I dont think there is any in Portugal. Maybe up north, i dont know. :D

[reptilyenmaster]

Hello, What did you use to seal the paint on the fly that made it so shiny?

Thank you!

[JustWantNAccount]

@reptilyenmaster

Hello, i used 5 minutes epoxy not just to be shiny but to protect the entire body of the fly :D

[reptilyenmaster]

@JustWantNAccount Thanks!

[shadowrslayer]

@skooksfinest

well thank you for taking the time to tell me that.

Of all the things you could be doing right now, you choose to come on youtube and telling me that.

Thank you one more time, you are very helpful.

[martimoutdoor]

Pescamos trairas, blackbass, dourados, pacus e piraputangas ...Argentina e Uruguai, Brasil Sul RS

Augusto, meu filho, 10 anos, esta atando iscas tbm. Ele gosta de tudo referente ao fly. Muito louco ele fica nas vésperas das pescarias.

[martimoutdoor]

Ótimo. Excelente. Cool.

Gostei muito do passo a passo montagem , e na verdade em nossas pescarias utilizamos muito a pesca com iscas superficie. Os peixes em nossa região de setembro a março gostagom muito de atacar na superficie. O popper é uma das minhas prediletas. Boa Pesca. Grande Abraço irmão. Cesar Palma

[JustWantNAccount]

Obrigado Cesar, ainda bem que gostou. Pois realmente para esses lados imagino o que não deve ser. Ai ai, bem que eu gostava de ir aí pescar :D

Abraço.

[MultiFlyfishing]

i make some poppers whit balsa ,and i use one dreemel, one small screw, and one piece of sand paper .put the screw on dreemel than put the screw on balsa, secure the dreemel whit one hand and sand paper whit another hand ,start the dreemel and make the body . you can use screw gun too.sory about the english.

[JustWantNAccount]

Thats a good way to make them to. Certainly it's quite quicker :D

[flappyjockstrap]

wow that is crazy awsome i wish i could make some i just need some balsa . those flies at the end looked awsome. thanks for showing me into the ways of making poppers i cant wait to make my own and try them out. 5 stars for sure.

[JustWantNAccount]

Glad to help :D

If you look at the other video on mini balsa poppers, you will see that those are a lot more easy to make and they do work realy good.

Can't wait for the season to open :D

[flappyjockstrap]

woa i made some mini poppers and i havent used them yet and they dont look as good as yours but i just need some practis. i cant wait to use them thanks alot , sucribed too :)

[JustWantNAccount]

I'm glad you found the time to make a few.

Now all that's missing is some photos or videos of your poppers, catching fish preferably :)

[flappyjockstrap]

soon hopefully good bass season comes up in late april early may :)

[JustWantNAccount]

Thanks. I have it on my pc monitor :D

[ShoneTheFly]

Nice video but I think that hook is too small for that size of popper ... combination of red ,yellow and white with crystal flash is good for the tail ,anyway I like it ..I wish you to catch some bass with it ...

next time use some 3/0 or 4/0 streamer hooks ..

[JustWantNAccount]

It was the biggest one i had at the time, i've made ones with bigger hooks.

It's winter in Portugal now, next summer maybe ill catch something.

But thankyou for your words.

[rugbyplayerwilko]

think you sould well make me a few :P and wot fly rod u use with them and wot fish u had on theses lol

[JustWantNAccount]

I use a 9,6 rod with a #8 line. And fish large mouth bass.

[rugbyplayerwilko]

i like that frog one u should do video of that one i d well buy that fly off u lol

[JustWantNAccount]
