Product Details

The bodies of all of the Bea Bea Bad Boys and Bea’s Poppers are made from cypress knees. Both and well-designed, and hand-crafted They both are effective fish catchers The cypress material absorbs the paint very well which eliminates cracking and peeling of the paint. This is an excellent and unique alternative to cork, balsa, or foam. The cypress knee is a distinctive structure forming above the roots of the cypress tree. Bea Bea Bugs make two different body shapes, the first having a round nose and is called Bea Bea Bad Boy. Not designed as a popper it is still deadly on bluegill. Other Models There are eleven different models to choose from. All of the Bea Bea Bugs are made in the USA. The most popular model is Bea Bea Boy #15 which has a chartreuse body, black hackle, chartreuse tail, and eight chartreuse rubber legs. Available in hook sizes 8 and 10. The second model, called Bea’s Popper, has a body shape with a concave face which creates a “pop” sound when the fly line is stripped. This popper has a chartreuse body, black hackle, chartreuse tail, and chartreuse rubber legs. Similar Poppers In addition to the Bea Bea Bad Boy and Bea’s Poppers Bea Bea Bugs also makes fly fishing lures in “glow in the dark” models. The Bea’s Glow Popper is available in hook sizes 8, 10, and 12. The Alien Egg Glow Bug is available in hook sizes 8 and 10 and is easily re-charged with a UV light, also available under Accessories on the BreamBugs website. As cork becomes more expensive and scarce the cypress knee becomes more attractive and is certainly more plentiful and inexpensive. The benefits of this alternative are numerous and include the fact that the wood is very hard and yet very buoyant. It holds the paint well and floats correctly, and it catches fish!
