| Just wondering if anyone knows of some good small poppers/stickbaits to use with softbait combos. Looking to try some top water action on small to mid size kingies. Preferably something that is in the normal persons budget. |

I made these a while ago but never really took them any further....A treble in the tail would help keel the lure better...

| The Rapala Skitterpops I have found work well , priced around the $30, and are a good size for soft bait rods. |

Cheers guys, Loving the look of the home made one, good ingenuity. Mite try rebel next time the do their once in a lifetime 30% off sale (which happens about every 3 weeks). Fishing them in shallow rocky water hence not wanting to pay stickbait prices.
