Notes

A foam-shelled bass surface popper with a marabou tail, palmered hackle and banded legs, designed to attract largemouth and smallmouth bass. It is fished on the surface, where the author has had good success at the Pitt Polder Fish Out, and bass often strike it from below or leap when it lands.
