That is awesome!!! The paint job is outstanding and the body and tail really go with it!! I know the fish will kill it but that looks like one for the display case!! Super Nice!!

Thanks guys. Ronny this one took awhile to do also but not as much time as the feather poppers. I made a set of tools for painting the dots and eyes out of rod rods and 15 different size needles. It is amazing how small those painted dots are.
Here is the set of rods and needle tools. The numbers are the size of needles used. Some are cut off at the eyes for size then pushed onto a 2'' wood handle and epoxied. Picked this up in a magazine.

Always check fly tying boards, the amount of tricks and even some of the patterns can be adapted to a jig head.

Ronnie,
I'm interested in your tools. I'm assuming some of them are sewing needles. I have some larger ones that are good for bodkins.
I'm curious which sizes of needles and rods you use most? I would like to make a set.
I like making my own tools. Plus, I like hand painting.
I bought a nice Badger airbrush, but I'm not set up to use it. I have an old cpap machine I am going to try to use as a compressor. it's a project for a day down the road.
I've only made one popper, but I'm ready to get after it and make a bunch.
Yours are top notch!!!!

That is a beautiful popper. Almost a shame to let it get mangled, but I know it will.
