Cypress root bodies

A different kind of popper body

The bodies of all the Bea Bea Bad Boys and Bea’s Poppers are made from the root of the Cypress tree. It is an excellent and unique alternative to cork, balsa, or foam because it is durable and rot-resistant.

Bea Bea Bugs makes two different body shapes. The Bea Bea Bad Boy has a round nose. It was not designed as a popper, but it is still deadly on bluegill. There are eleven different models to choose from, with model #15 among the most popular thanks to its chartreuse body, black hackle, chartreuse tail, and eight chartreuse rubber legs.

Bea’s Popper has a concave face that creates a pop sound when the fly line is stripped. It uses the same eye-catching chartreuse body, black hackle, chartreuse tail, and chartreuse rubber legs. Both designs are available in hook sizes 8 and 10.

As cork becomes more expensive and scarce, the root of the Cypress tree becomes more attractive. The wood is hard and buoyant, holds paint well, floats correctly, is reasonably priced, and catches fish.
