Recently we discussed the Miskito Coast Popper/Dropper Rig. The response was very good, however, a number of customer requested information on how to make your own popper/dropper rig. For a video on the subject go to www.BreamBugs.com, under “Product Categories” click on “Leaders” and scroll down to the Miskito Coast Popper/Dropper Rig. Here you will find a video showing how to make your own popper/dropper rig titled “Some bream fly fishing basics”.
Catching two big fat bluegill on one cast is an awesome experience and not too uncommon when you are using the MISKITO COAST POPPER/DROPPER RIG from BreamBugs.com. Available under “Leaders” on our website. The “Rig” is made with premium monofilament. It is 10 feet long and 8 lb test. Eight pound test because when you get two bluegill on the line at once you need the extra strength to land them. Not to mention, the 8 lb test helps keep the two flies from getting tangled. It also has two Quick Change Snaps to make it easy to quickly change flies. Quick change Snaps are also available on the BreamBugs site under “Accessories”.
This popper is something of a cross between the color chartreuse and the color yellow. Designed with a concave face, four white rubber legs and a red “strike” dot on its bottom. This is an excellent addition to the Peck’s by Pultz product line. Available in hook sizes 4 and 6. $5.95 each!
These bugs and poppers are unique in a couple of ways. First, the bodies of both the Bad Boy and the Bea’s Popper are made from the root of the Tupelo Tree. This feature assures that the paint adheres well to the body of the bug and it floats properly on the water. Second, these are the lowest priced high quality top water lures on the BreamBugs site priced at only $3.30 each. Available in hook sizes 8 and 10 in most styles. There are 19 different patterns to choose from. See them all at: www.BreamBugs.com
If you are anything like me your focus is on having a variety of flies in your tackle box. While having a good selection of flies is important, don’t overlook the necessity of having a quality fly line cleaner in your tackle box. A quality fly line cleaner will help your line shoot smoothly and float properly. We have tried several types and brands of fly line dressing and the best we have found is the RIO AgentX Fly Line Cleaner Kit. Find it under Accessories at www.BreamBugs.com
Walt Cary has done it again, created two Fire Tiger Sliders and a Frog Slider. The cover of Fly Tyer magazine, Autumn 2011 issue, featured Walt’s original Fire Tiger Popper. See all of Walt Cary’s poppers and sliders at: www.BreamBugs.com
If you do lots of “catch and release” fly fishing you are aware of the advantages of barbless hooks. The main advantage, however, is that it will not hurt the fish and obviously its easier to remove the hook. BreamBugs has several barbless hooks to choose from. Here is a picture of my favorite barbless hook. Check out all of the different styles we have at: www.BreamBugs.com
Here is your opportunity. Pultz Poppers has introduced their new Snub Nose Slider for bream fly fishing. Available in three styles, chartreuse body with black spackle, black hackle and chartreuse tail. The Snub Nose Slider Frog white body with black spackle, black hackle and white tail. All three styles are available in hook sizes 8 and 10. See all three at: www.BreamBugs.com
