Krebs Popper Jig is a precision tool for fly tying that lets you craft perfect popper bodies from foam cylinders in minutes. Designed by noted Midwest fly tyer Gary Krebs, these miter box-like jigs create consistent, action-driven poppers with a fastback silhouette.

Field tested around Beaver Island, MI with carp and large smallmouth, they earned a recommendation from Indigo Guide Service. The face of each body is precisely angled to produce dynamic action, and the fastback style yields a sleek, low-drag profile. You can vary body length or create diver patterns by reversing the face angle.
