Articulated Popper Fly

Elevate your topwater game with the MMRF Articulated Popper, an enhanced version of the classic Boilermaker. Designed for big, toothy predators—striped bass, bluefish, barracuda, sharks—this fly combines visual pop, lifelike movement, and robust construction for when surface strikes count.


Key Features

  • Articulated Head-to-Tail Design
    The flexible wire “Big Game Shank” connects the foam popper head to the trailing body, allowing lifelike swimming action and enticing kicks—ideal mimicry of injured baitfish.

  • Deep-Cupped Popper Head
    Engineered for explosive surface commotion, the head generates loud gulps and splashes to draw predator attention from afar.

  • Durable Big-Game Construction
    Mounted on a super-sharp Owner hook via solid wire shank, this fly withstands hard strikes and toothy targets like barracuda and bluefish.

  • Variety of Topwater-Triggering Colors
    Available in White, Chartreuse, Red, Yellow, Black, Orange—with options for contrasting tail colors—to mimic parametric baitfish and enhance visibility.


 What It’s Built For

  • Predators That Crave Surface Action
    Ideal for hooking striped bass, bluefish, snook, redfish, pike, musky, and more—any species that cruises along the surface seeking wounded baitfish .

  • Topwater Blitzes & Calm Conditions
    Use it during feeding frenzies or in dead-calm water—its popping and shimmering tail action make it irresistible.

  • Large-Game Streams, Flats & Estuaries
    Whether chasing bass in freshwater or snook in mangroves, this fly scales from rivers to offshore conditions with ease.

Fishing Strategy

  1. Pop, Pause, Strip – Strip tight to make the tail swim, cadence between pops to keep predators locked on.

  2. Match Water & Light – Bright colors for low-light or murky water; natural tones for clear conditions.

  3. Use Heavy Leaders – Go 30–40 lb fluorocarbon or wire for barracuda, shark, or heavy-jawed fish.

Why You'll Love It

  • Realistic Surface Action – Full-bodied pop paired with subtle tail wiggle mimics crippled baitfish superbly.

  • Built to Last – Owner hook and epoxy/foam body combine resilience with premium feel.

  • Multi-Species Versatility – Effective from freshwater bass to saltwater toothy species.
