FrankenFly released their new Brain Dead Popper heads today, so naturally I had to make a video of a quick and easy popper to mimic the featured fly on the pack.
In this video I walk through the whole process of making the fly, products I use, and also show a swim test. Nothing beats fishing poppers on a hot summer day and getting top water slams.
As always, if you have any questions or comments feel free to comment below or get ahold of me via my other social media channels.
