The following pictures are courtesy of Mike Tuohy. These Custom Offshore Popper Flies are designed and made by Tom McQuade in 3 sizes. Large and medium sizes are available. They come in their own protective plastic tube. The large fly is from 8" to 8 1/2" long and weighs in under 9 grams. The medium fly is 7" to 7 1/2" long and weighs in under 8 grams. The small size is not yet available. Reason being, it's still in field trials. The heads are made of soft and durable foam, so when a fish bites down it can crush the head (which will spring back to its original shape) thus not interfering with the hook set. These flies took four years in developement and field testing, to bring all the right materials together in the right quantities and qualities. Out of the 18 different color combinations, these six shown have been the most productive.

We also want to thank Captain Bubba Carter and Captain John Prince, in the F&D, for without their help these flies would never have come about.
