Bass On a fly

[windriver]

I do tie my own poppers. Where I live in Idaho the bass are generally small so the poppers are pretty small also. I do not know exactly what size they are but I tie most lf mine on a size 8 hook. I order or buy the bodies pre shaped. If you do not buy wide gap hooks then you have to cut a little away from the gap so that the hook can work on bass. The foam ones are the easiest to use because you just tie in a tail or legs with a wrapped hackle to disguise the hook a little and then glue the body on the hook. The only tricky part is heating up a needle to burn a hole in the body. Then you use a bobbin threader to pull the rubber legs through the body.
