Step 3:
I used white tipex on the cork to paint it white. This took 2 coats and I added the Stick on eyes. As soon as the tipex was dry I coated the whole cork with loons softhead. This will secure the eyes and to give it a more lifelike feel.
Step 4:
I add a piece of 30kg mono to the hook. This is tied on with a normal fishermans knot. The mono gets treaded through the cork. The cork slideds up right to the hook. This will make the head to swivel and and add allot more action to the popper.
I added some glitter along the side of the cork to make a latteral line. A loop are made on the front of the mono that is passed trough the corck. This simply gets looped to your tippet and will also double as a shock tippet.
As I said guys, I have not yet fished this popper and I am intending to do so this comeing season. Its a big fly that will be cast in the search of big fish.
