Beaner's Perfect Poppers

Recipe
Hook:  Wapsi Supplied Hook
Body:  Wapsi Perfect Pencil Popper Body (Hard Foam)
Tail:  Marabou
Flash:  Wapsi Palmer Chenille
Color:  Sharpie and PrismaColor Permanent Markers
Top Coat:  Clear Sparkle Nail Enamel

Another "kit popper" from Wapsi.  Ward Bean really shows you how to effectively decorate these foam buggers with nail polish and markers in Fly Tyer Magazine.

We tied these up and really like them, but they are almost impossible to see in the water.  I'll need to add a bit of color to the top of the popper to make it easier to see on the river.  I have big hopes for this get up!

This is what they look like out of the package.  A few markers, feathers and nail polish and you're good to go.
