Chocklett's DIY Bug Popper Kit
Chocklett's DIY Bug Popper Kit — Tie 6 Bugs Per Pack
Blane Chocklett's DIY Bug Popper Kit puts one of the most innovative topwater designs in modern fly fishing directly in your hands. Engineered to make popping bug construction fast, intuitive, and accessible to tiers of all skill levels, each kit gives you everything you need to build 6 deadly, durable topwater bugs optimized for mimicking larger terrestrial and aquatic insects — frogs, cicadas, oversized stoneflies, and more.
The design blends classic topwater concepts from legendary tiers like Lefty Kreh and Tom Blados with Chocklett's modern obsession with realism and movement. The result is a popper that doesn't just look alive — it sounds alive.
What's in the Kit
- 6 Hooks — Gamakatsu B10S (size varies by kit: XSmall #6, Small #4, Medium #2, Large #1/0)
- 12 Eyes
- 6 Outer top skin pieces
- 6 Under inner body parts (size-specific layering: Large has 3 sizes, Medium has 2 sizes, Small has 2 sizes, XSmall has 1 size)
- 6 Tongue outer under body parts
Key Design Features
- Deep-cupped face — produces a low, deep-pitch bubbling pop and chugging acoustic footprint that fish easily track
- Aerodynamic casting — lifts cleanly off the water without line twist, even on lighter fly rods
- High durability — composite material withstands crushing strikes and rocky impacts without shattering
- Accessible assembly — designed for tiers of all skill levels
Customization
The kit provides the foundational structural foam heads. Add your own hooks, feathers, synthetic fiber, or rubber legs to finish the pattern your way. Available in hook sizes XSmall (#6), Small (#4), Medium (#2), and Large (#1/0).
Note: Additional tying materials (feathers, rubber legs, synthetics) not included.
