LeRoy Botha’s Reinforced Balsa Poppers are not just eye candy, they’re built for explosive topwater action. Designed to provoke aggressive strikes from these introduced predators that have become a firm favorite among South African fly fishy peeps

Balsa poppers are about as classic a fly fishing ‘lure’ as any you’ll find. LeRoy Botha has had a soft spot for balsa flies for years, but found it a bit sad when they only lasted as long as a single hook did. Once the hook had been sharpened too many times, or rust set in, you had to retire it. 
These poppers are his answer to that problem: make them like the lure guys do, with a replaceable hook. Coat the popper with a reinforced skin of resin, and you have a ‘fly’ that will outlast the more standard models by at least a day or two! 
These poppers come with a skirted hook with a nylon weed guard. Fished on a 7 to 9wt rod on 15lb+ tippet, you can drift it, twitch it, pop it or strip it.
