The foam cylinder that changed redfishing in North Carolina

Before I invented the Pop N Fly catching trophy redfish on the fly in NC was difficult at best. Now, we catch 100's of fish over 40 inches a year. Interested in one; go to the Flymen Fishing Companies web site and order a few. They are also excellent for small reds, specks, stripers and even fresh water fish!
