Gnarly Headz
“The most advanced popper head you will ever use.”
Hook exposure is probably the most crucial issue when it comes to designing and tying poppers. If the hook is not exposed enough or correctly it means that the head design is not right, or the incorrect hook was selected for that specific head
“A popper-head should never be wider than what it is high unless the mounted hook gape is equal or greater
than the width of the head.”
Arno Laubscher
