Default sequine popper

It really looks good.. Thanks for posting it.

The sequine looks like a propeller blade. What is the sequine's purpose on
the fly? It is supposed to make the bug wiggle when stripped or just
reflect light or some other purpose?

If optional mono eyes are used, where do you tie them? In front of bead,
between bead and sequine, or between sequine and foam?

When tied correctly and casted into the water, where does the water line lie
lengthwise along the body? Does the body lie parallel to the surface or
does the gap end sink lower or does the bead-eye end sink lower?

Thanks again for posting. I'm going sequine shopping!

For some reason I cant get any pictures or post in alt bin fishing . It is
a good reason to set we up a separate site for my fly's

I got my Sequin Popper published in the Dec issue of Flyfish America and
will tie it for the next swap if the response isn't over whelming. They
edited it quite a bit from my instructions. I have never tied it on a #
4
hook
Just a 8 or 10. But with that said it is a very good bass and panfish
fly.
Wile participatining in another swap I got a E-mail that the guy caught
a
5# bass the first cast with it


......got a link to that fly, that you can post here?
I looked at Flyfish America and couldn't find the Sequin Popper
