Cylinder Popper (blue tiger)
Note: Just a flat faced cylinder popper. I like to use a white cylinder to give me more color options. One in the vise wrap the hook shank with thread. I use a hot needle to burn a hole through the cylinder. Then I coat the hook shank with super glue and quickly slide the cylinder on the shank. I will color the cylinder (I like white, chartreuse, Fire Tiger, Blue Tiger, and Orange Tiger). Coat with the fabric paint. Let dry. Add a second coat of color and eyes. Add second coat of fabric paint or epoxy. When dry tie in tail and hackle. Color to match the body. Hackle can be trimmed flat on bottom if you want. I tie these in various sizes and lengths. I will also slide E-Z body or Corsair tubing over them for a more tapered popper. Eyes go over the hook point not in the front.
