Description

All poppers work in the right conditions, but the Kinky Muddler Popper ups the ante. The tail, body and popper head all blend together to create a seamless baitfish profile unlike other poppers. The back half of the body lies submerged in the water, which causes the fly to kick up a huge fuss and improves hookups. You may never use a conventional popper again

Field Notes

Use this on the surface when fish are feeding on baitfish and you want a loud commotion to draw strikes. The submerged rear section helps it push water and improve hookups, so it is best worked with short strips and pauses around active fish or cover.

Pros

  • Creates a big surface disturbance
  • Seamless baitfish profile
  • Submerged rear section can improve hookups

Cons

  • Less subtle than a standard fly
  • Best when fish are willing to rise to the surface
