Description
The King Kinky Muddler Popper, designed by Johnny King, is an innovative take on the classic Muddler Minnow, combining the traditional features of a Muddler with a popper head to create an irresistible surface fly for a variety of predatory species. Originally developed for targeting large, aggressive fish like bass and pike, the King Kinky Muddler Popper is known for its unique combination of a bulky, realistic profile and a popper-style face that creates an enticing "pop" sound when stripped through the water. This fly mimics a distressed baitfish or struggling prey, making it especially effective in situations where fish are actively feeding on surface prey. The fly is a favorite among anglers who fish in weedy or shallow waters, as its popper head allows it to remain visible while avoiding snags and debris
Pro Tip
Cast the King Kinky Muddler Popper over bait schools or near structure. Retrieve with sharp, consistent strips to produce loud pops and wakes, drawing fish from a distance.
