Balsa Poppers

    Another way to save serious money while tying your own bass & bream poppers is to whittle them out of balsa wood. You can buy a bag of it for cheap at any arts & crafts store and it's light as a feather, making it perfect for bream/bass poppers. 
     Take into consideration that this wood is VERY soft and, thus, it breaks and dents easily. I like to coat my finished poppers with epoxy to give them strength and water resistance. 
    Now, you try it! Show me what you come up with.
