Gentlemen,
I hit up the Satilla the other day and I will never again fish it without the 5 wt. The strikes were awesome and those redbreasts pull! The only problem were my flies. I started out with a few poppers in two different brands. Both were of poor quality and both twisted the tippet to a point that the bugs would roll on the surface. Both brands were near legless after about 30 minutes of fishing. Can anyone suggest a good quality popper that might slow down the line twists? I'm sure that this is a product of the design. Is there a way to fix it? Next time, I might switch to some foam ants and spiders or larger deer hair caddis, but I like a little noise on the twitch.
Thanks,
SB
