Popper Blanks
These foam popper heads by Edgewater Fishing Products are excellent for making poppers for big, aggressive fish like bluefish, striped bass, dolphin,
barracuda, jacks, and even false albacore and small tunas. We are now offering a greatly
expanded range of sizes and styles of foam popper heads to meet a variety of fishing
conditions. The "Dink" heads are very small, short popper heads popular for redfish, seatrout,
freshwater flies, etc. The #2 and #1/0 "Stretch" Popper heads
are great for freshwater flies for large and smallmouth bass, small striper flies,
and small poppers for finicky saltwater species like bonito and false albacore.
The Pencil Popper heads are long and thin for ease of
casting and a slim profile. The "Boilermaker" blanks
are large, loud popper heads that will get the attention of aggressively feeding fish like
bluefish, jacks, giant trevally, etc. Any of these foam heads can be used to make a popper, or reversed to make a slider
style of fly. Tie one up, tie
it on, then hold on!
Please note: we list all of these
popper heads with the manufacturer's designations, but just because a
popper is labelled by Edgewater as #1/0, #2/0, etc., does not guarantee
that they will fit perfectly on a given hook style or size. For instance, please note that the
#2/0 Boilermaker heads are longer than the #3/0 Boilermaker heads. The reason for this:
The #3/0 head was originally made for use on the Mustad 34011 #3/0 hook, while the
#2/0 head was originally made for use on the old Mustad 9082S #2/0 hook, which had an
especially long shank - this hook was relatively weak and has fallen out of favor, and is now out
of production and rarely used by saltwater fly anglers. Please read the descriptions carefully as we have listed the exact measurements for all of the popper heads shown below - for a good fit, the length of the popper should be similar to the shank length of the hook that you plan to use. These Edgewater Foam popper heads can easily be trimmed to length with a sharp blade for a custom fit on the hook style of your choice. Where possible, we have made a few suggestions for possible hook/popper head match-ups. Please be aware the these popper heads are formed by hand by the folks who make these, so some small variations in size/shape are possible.
Traditional kinked-shank style popper hooks include the
Mustad CK74S, and the Wapsi Saltwater Popper Hook.
Other useful long-shank hook styles for poppers are the Gamakatsu SP11-3L3H
and the Gamakatsu "Spinnerbait" hook, as well as the Mustad S74SZ-34011. A new hook that we are using for very large popper flies is the
"Owner Longshanks".

popper. We like to use Zap Gel to attach the feathers. The Master Blaster
is the larger style; approx. 1 1/4" long (3.25 cm) and approx. 1 inch (2.5 cm) in diameter. The
Master Jack style is approx 1 1/8" (2.75 cm) long and 3/4" (1.75 cm) in diameter. $1.60/ea.

Limited supply in stock...Save big $$! - $2.39/ea! Please note: for the
Grade #2 bucktails: we cannot guarantee that we will have these available - they
are available sporadically, as we sort them out from the #1's. If you absolutely need to get
a particular color you want for your tying, you may wish to add a note in the
"Special Instructions" box when you reach the "Checkout" screen for your order - something like:
"Please substitute #1 if #2 is not available" will insure that you receive the color
you want (provided you are willing to pay for a #1 if #2 is not available).

Deer Belly Hair: We are now offering both Deer Belly and Deer Body Hair.
Both of these Deer Hair styles are used to make spun deer
hair flies like snake flies, backcountry flies,
crab flies, muddler style heads, etc. Deer Belly is dyed over
white hair from the belly area of the Whitetail Deer - because the various colors of this
hair are dyed over white, the colors are more vibrant than Body hair. Deer Body hair (see next table below) is dyed over
the natural brown body hair of the deer, so the colors
are more muted, with some natural dark mottling to the hair, especially at the tips. Deer Belly Hair is
more hollow than Deer Body Hair, which gives it greater bouyancy, and allows it to spin more easily,
but the hairs typically have some curvature, and are shorter than Deer Body Hair. 3.25/ea

Deer Body Hair: - Premo Deer Hair Strips - Deer body hair is used to make spun deer
hair flies like snake flies, backcountry flies, Tarpon Toads,
crab flies, muddler style heads, etc. These colors are dyed over the
natural brown body hair of the deer, so the colors
feature some natural dark mottling to the hair, especially at the tips - this Deer Body Hair is the style
used most frequently when a more natural color pattern is desired, such as for crab flies, etc.
Deer Body Hair is typically longer and straighter than Deer Belly Hair, but it is not as hollow. We are now
pleased to offer what is perhaps the best hair ever produced for saltwater fly tyers - "Premo Deer Hair
Strips". These patches are selected for quality hair, and dyed to a wide range of colors useful
for so many different flies. Each generously sized patch measures 3 inches by 12 inches (8 cm x 31 cm).
We have a limited quantity remaining of small patches -
they are listed below the Premo Deer Hair Strips.

Finn Raccoon Fur: We very much like this new natural
hair product, which features soft fine fur with long guard hairs - like Arctic
Fox, but the hair is longer, and quite nice. Very useful for tarpon toad flies, bonefish &
permit flies, tube flies, and more. Also perfect for many soft hairwing salmon
and steelhead flies, not to mention freshwater flies for fish like trout, largemouth and
smallmouth bass, etc. These are hair on skin patches, some patches have hair
as long as 3 1/2 inches (9 cm). The skin can be trimmed with the hair on for tarpon
toad tails, or the hair cut off in clumps for tube flies and bonefish
wing tufts. -- 4.50/pack.

Feathers
Saddle Hackles: Prepackaged strung saddle
hackles are standard fare for seaducers, snake flies, deceivers,
and sliders, etc. If you need feathers mainly for
Deceiver tails, please consider one of the "Whiting American Rooster Capes" - these
are far more useful for Deceivers than strung saddle hackle.
Note: it has been our experience that the best strung saddle hackles are selected
by the supply houses for dying to the various colors, leaving the rest of the hackles
to be sold as "White". Even though "White is the most popular color by far,
the typical package of white saddle hackle will contain fewer usable feathers
than a pack of one of the dyed colors. If you need White saddle hackle, please consider the
"Bulk Pack 1OZ" which contains a full ounce of hackle - this typically has better
quality feathers than the loose packs also. Click the blue dot to view
a photo of the "Regular Packs".

Whiting American Rooster Capes:
Getting hackles to make Lefty's deceiver tails seems to get harder each year, and
these American Rooster Capes are the answer to our prayers! With a very high feather count,
stiff stems, and good web, the Whiting American Rooster cape is one of the
best Capes ever for deceiver Tails - you'll never buy
strung saddle hackle for deceiver tails again. Feathers in the Grizzly and Dyed Grizzly colors
are a bit wider at the end than the White color; these are probably the best hackle
we've ever seen for keys style tarpon flies. Since each cape also has a small quantity of smaller size feathers,
these are also great for backcountry flies, bonefish flies, and much
more. Grizzly patterning is a nice "mottled" grizzly - not as strong barring as some feathers,
excellent for making truly buggy looking flies. Don't miss out on these if you tie Largemouth
Bass flies, either!
All of the Capes have some curvature to the feathers...
Keep in mind that the "Natural White" is just that - these are not bleached (bleaching
can degrade the quality of the feathers), so they really are more of a "Cream" color, with
occasional speckles or brown markings, but these Capes still remain our
top choice for deceivers.
Note:
All of these Whiting American Rooster Capes are available in limited
quantity - we buy as many as we can each year, but we never get as many as
we request. A special note as of summer 2011 is the fact that many cape/saddle hackle style
have recently come into popular use by the fashion & hairdressing industries - this has created a severe shortage in the availability of these types of feathers. We still have some stock on those items listed below with an "Add to Cart" link, but quantities are limited.

Schlappen: Strung Schlappen hackle
has long full web in the feather, and is typically used for making hackle collars on
saltwater and salmon/steelhead patterns. Approximately 1/4 oz per package. The "Barred
Schlappen" hackle is a naturally barred variant feather, which has been dyed over to
the various colors. Note: Please be advised - the quality of Schlappen that is
available on the market at the moment is not nearly as good as it was just a few years ago - we
apologize for this, but high quality schlappen is simply not available from any source
that we are aware of. We will do our best to send you usable feathers, but due to
quality issues we are compelled to add this disclaimer to Schlappen products at this time.
The "Barred Schlappen" products shown below are better quality feathers than the standard
ones, but of course they feature natural dark barred markings on the feathers.
Barred Schlappen is in short supply at the moment.

fly tying scissors to cut out crab shapes with Furry Foam.

HT Braid & Electra Braid: Gudebrod's HT Braid is one of the easiest materials
to use for making reflective tinsel bodies on a variety of saltwater flies . High quality flat braided
tinsel material is similar to Bodi Braid, Flat Diamond
Braid, etc. Great for bodies on bonefish flies, deceivers, bucktail streamers, etc.
The Electra "Hologram" Braid is the same style of braid in hologram colors that can help any tier create
some truly dramatic effects. We love to use this product to add a short, bright body to
some of our Clouser Minnow flies. A small tuft of Red HT Braid makes a very nice
throat accent on streamer flies when unravelled. 10 Yards per pack makes lots of flies - $4.15/pack.

Round Rubber Legs: Round in cross section - these are sort of
the "original" style rubber legs that were in use by fly tiers for many years...true rubber
is preferred by some tiers because it has a better vibrating action in the water than some other styles, but they
can grow brittle over time as rubber is a naturally derived material. Colors are nice and rich.
Approx 24 inches (60 cm) per package.

Pearl Chenille: Pearl Chenille is very nice, and similar to Estaz.
We chose the colors shown below because they are

"Green Chartreuse"...the Tan is a nice light tan, and the Brown is lighter than the Estaz
"Root Beer". Size is called "Medium" - this chenille is slightly smaller in size
than the "Regular" size Estaz. -- 3.25/pack

EP Tarantula Hairy Legs Brush:
New product as of October 2011. These new Dubbing Brushes by Enrico Puglisi Ltd. are so very cool -
they feature lots of very fine rubber legs blended with sparse synthetic fibers for maximum action in the water. These brushes are one of the best ways to tie a variety of patterns for bonefish, redfish, tarpon, and many other backcountry & flats dwellers, not to mention freshwater fish like big trout & largemouth bass. Great for small & medium sized crabs & crustaceans, seaducer type flies, toad flies, and more. Two sizes available - 1 inch, and 1/2 inch. These sizes refer to the approximate length of the fibers extending out to one side of the wire core of the brush.
Click on the product header links below to see photos of these brushes. We have tied some great bonefish & redfish crabs with these by simply wrapping the brush & trimming it top & bottom, and we have also made some tarpon seaducer styles and toads by wrapping the brush, and leaving it round for seaducers, or trimming it top & bottom for toads - Here's a photo of some "Tarpon Ticklers" tied with the 1" brush (flies tied by Chris Windram). Please note that the range of available colors is slightly different for each size. 6.99/pack

fly tiers. Multi-tone brushes allow tiers to make multicolored crab patterns, gobies, baitfish, and
Toad flies with ease - just palmer the brush, then trim to the shape you want. These dense, full
brushes are one of the easiest ways to make tarpon toads and crabs - these brushes are best for larger sized flies. Features tiny "micro legs" mixed right in - perfect.
