PTO Popper

The PTO Popper is a distinctive foam popper fly crafted by Mick Trompen, who collaborated with RIO Products to bring this innovative design to anglers. Its hollow head design allows the fly to sit low in the water, enhancing its stability and reducing the chance of being deflected by striking fish. This feature also decreases wind resistance during casting, making it more aerodynamic than traditional solid foam poppers. The durable coating protects the foam from fish teeth, ensuring longevity. Additionally, the hollow head generates an enticing bubble trail when retrieved quickly, effectively attracting predatory species.

In clear or calm water conditions, a subtle approach can be more effective. After casting, let the popper sit briefly to mimic a natural insect or baitfish landing on the surface. Use gentle twitches to create slight disturbances, appealing to more cautious fish.
