They carry the Boggle Bug Popper, which are costly at 5.00 each but worth every penny spent. I am still using Boggle poppers from 3 years ago. They are one durable popper for the money. I land some awesome bass using these poppers because of the concave face which creates a lot of noise on a smooth surface. It is one killer popper. That two pounder hit the popper twice, the first hit it missed the popper and the second it inhaled it deep in its throat. Give this website a look, you will be impressed. thanks for the comment Bill Trussellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15351692272817692157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8518971929369280752.post-63702603314916844172013-10-08T21:04:08.300-04:002013-10-08T21:04:08.300-04:00Pen

Let the drag do the work for you, it is much easier to land the fish using the drag as oppose to applying pressure with the fly rod. Too much pressure will result in losing the fish.
