By brim,I mean bluegills,shellcrackers,redbellies,etc.
Mine is one I get from Basspro called Dave's Hopper,a good grasshopper copy.Fairly durable fly.

Cheap white poppers I find online for about a buck each. If the water is muddy, a felt worm.

My favorite way to catch bream is on a popper or floating spider. I tend to catch more big ones on streamers, though.

 

[splatek]

Anything in the box.

Yellow popper or floating spider. Rubber legs trimmed short.

 

[Nicodemus]

Two favorites. Yellow foam spider, and a black rubber legged dragon.

Production got to be too expensive vs. selling price when the recession hit and everyone decided they didn't want a bullet-proof 2-part epoxy popper in brilliant patterns never before seen on planet earth... so the guy stopped making 'em.

I know this, b/c that guy was me. lol

Paymaster tied me some cricket looking flies a number of years ago in both black and green. They have been killer on bluegill and shellcracker. Trout won't turn them down either.

Man, those look impressive! I'd hate to snag one of those in a tree limb 30 feet up after that amount of work.

Thank you. They were all hand painted and took about 3 hours to make each one, all total with the epoxy drying time ( on spinning wheel things ). I had one store in Augusta that wanted to carry them, but they wanted me to sell them at $3.50.
I had about $4 in them just materials. It just wasn't a good long term plan as far as sales, but you could literally slam them as hard as you wanted onto the driveway and that epoxy wouldn't crack. Ya might have been able to shoot one out of a tree!? LOL

I want one that looks like a chicken on a bicycle.

Clouser Minnow in white or white and grey.

It’s the only fly I’ve fly fished for anything like a bream with, but it works and it’s a lot of fun.

A long time ago we use to use miniature hula popping bugs. They were awesome but they quit making them years ago

 

[lampern]

Wooly worm or wooly bugger

 

[Robust Redhorse]

A yellow popper.


The number of rubber legs is directly proportional to the number of strikes you will get on it!


Booglebugs will outlast most by 10X
