Lucas Martin –
Used the Popsicle in a river in Alaska and caught a steelhead within minutes. The flash and movement really stood out. Works well in fast-moving water.
Peter Vance –
Fished with this pattern during a cold season trip and got multiple strikes. The color and action are exactly what the original design promised.
Harry Sharp –
Good for attracting fish in open streams. A bit less effective in very clear water, but still a solid choice for general use.
