Hi everyone, First time poster, but avid reader here. A buddy of mine is going on a peacock bass trip and asked me if I could tie Hine some poppers to match the attached image. Has anyone seen plastic chopper blades like the ones pictures? I've only ever seen metal ones. Thanks in advance. Best, Chris

One fine day last year my dog chewed up my Xbox controller so I took the joysticks out and cut the backsides down to a reasonable circular shape. Next I got my lure blank a coffin body popper I whittled and drilled a hole into the front face of the bait , you will want to sand it first and refine the front face so it will fit the joystick so you'll avoid cracking the wooden drill holes. When I went to insert it I played with the lip (joystick) angle and angled it slightly downward and glued the lip and a eyelet screw into the front face. Then I let it set up and put some jb weld around where the lip meets the lure and sanded it smooth. You can purchase those joysticks on Amazon for dirt cheap and the one I made worked as good as any popper you can buy. Use epoxy if your more comfortable with it than jb weld and super glue. The photos arent a finished bait just a guide if y'all decide to try it!!

My 3d printed popper. 11 centimeters long and 20 grams in weight. The design is mine, made in Blender and Tinkercad, and printed in PLA. Twisted wire eyes for the line tie and hook hangers. This is still an experiment, so I still have to work on sealing, painting, and clearcoating. Also want to test and find out its breaking point, so this won't be intact for long. Will update when finished. Edit: The lure failed under a load of 16 kilograms (35.2 lbs). However, the failure occurred along a weak line, an incompletely fused layer, and so I assume that with a good print, the lure will be able to handle another 2 to 3 kilograms. -

Spun this one up to see if it would work. Got the idea from an e-book. Tested great. -
I've made a time-lapse video showing how to design and build your own fishing popper cork. In the beginning of the video I demonstrate how to catch African Sharptooth Catfish, but this technique should work for many other catfish species elsewhere in the world as well. I believe that Redfish are targeted in a similar way in the US so perhaps this will be useful to someone.

Cedar Popper Turned on the wood lathe. Spots on back are inlaid popular. Brass hardware. Bucktail tail. Sits on lathe turned cedar stand, but lifts off easily for use. -

More of a challenge project than a real lure, call it an art project for now... -
Basswood popper turned on my lathe and airbrushed. The eyes and mouth were hand painted by me and almost drove me back to smoking by the time I finished!- 3 comments

Cedar Popper turned on the wood lathe, with inset spots of maple. Brass hooks and fittings with bucktail trailer/skirt. It simply sits on the pedestal base and so can either be displayed or fished. -
Have been trying to learn how to make a decent splatter back, paint job. I said I would post a picture, when I finally made one that was decent. So this is it. Thanks for the help guys, with out your help I would still be scratching my head. Saugerman -
The plastic holders on the end of small cigars make great and durable popper bodies. I don't smoke, so I pick mine up on the local golf course. For some reason, they accumulate on the tees. Just run a hook (dressed if you like) through it and use epoxy it. Or you can through wire ir with a free swinging dressed hook for added attraction. Use craft foam to stuff it and epoxy thickened with micro-balloons to seal it fore and aft. The popper body has a semi soft feel to it. By cutting the head at different angles you can make them dive or skitter. A small lip can also be added. The tail also can be trimmed to a slope, cut short, or left as is. Mask off the feathers and paint however you want. Enjoy! PS I learned through experience that the hook on the pink one is a little to small. Still a lot of fun though!

I recently purchased a workbench wood lathe from harbor freight and so far its been treating me pretty well. I've been researching turning plugs for quite sometime now, and today I finally turned my first two lures. The top lure was supposed to imitate a Hula Popper, and the bottom is going to be a pencil popper. The Hula Popper is made from basswood and the pencil popper is made from eastern red cedar. Any critiques would be greatly appreciated. Also if anyone could provide some info on how to cut the angle for the pencil popper mouth I'd also appreciate that. Thanks in advance!

This is a mullet pattern popper/ prop bait I made as a christmas gift for a friend. It is made with the thought of using it for inshore red drum on the NC coast. It is carved from poplar. I used the some aluminum mesh to imprint the scale patern on some foil. It is weighted to sit tail down in the water and will cause alot of commotion on a with a good twitch or pull. -
Learn the process of creating a hand carved wood fishing lure. Watch me carve one of my poppers, from start to finish. You will get to see the process of how a wooden surface lure is carved, weighted and hardware added. Everything has been captures up to the point of the lure being ready for painting. This video was shot in one day, starting in the afternoon, and finishing up late at night. I apologize for some of the lighting at the end of the video. This is part one of a two part series. The final sealing of the wood, painting and clear coating of the lure will be covered in part two. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ERFtkybduDQ
