Description

Not your average popper. Designed by Fulling Mill consultant James Christmas who has been a guide on Alphonse Island in the Seychelles. The NYAP is a must have in your fly box. This simple foam pattern has accounted for some whopping GT's, the world over. Made by affixing some basic foam onto a World Class hook, in this case it's the Gamakatsu SL12, you can be sure to rely on it. Whatever you do, don't buy a cheap alternative unless you want to lose the fish of a lifetime. Top tip from our friends at Fin Chaser Magazine, is to take a handful of these, as one hit from a GT will often destroy the foam body leaving you needing a few in reserve. Be sure to check out the Standard Nyap too. Size: 6/0

Field Notes

Use this as a surface popper for aggressive saltwater predators, especially GTs, around reefs, points, and other open-water structure. Work it with sharp pops and pauses to create commotion and draw reaction strikes; the foam body is durable but can be damaged by hard hits, so carrying extras makes sense.

Pros

  • Simple foam popper profile that triggers explosive surface strikes
  • Built on a strong Gamakatsu SL12 hook
  • Good choice for big GTs and other aggressive saltwater fish

Cons

  • Foam body can be destroyed after a fish strike
  • Not a finesse or long-lasting hard-bodied lure
