Chuck If you send us a link to the picture of the popper you want to tie we can tell you if it was a spun deer hair popper or stacked deer hair. In general spun bugs are either a solid color or striped all the way around the body. Frogs with spots or bugs with stripes on top are stacked... the color doesn't spin around the hook. As a few have said Chris Helms has videos that are very helpful. He has a web site but it is more of a store front so I won't post the link here. It isn't set up like Byards where you can find the pictures of the video so it wasn't very helpful for the visual shopper but he will mail you a video. Byard may be able to get one for you though if you ask him. He has some videos that may not be on his website. Give him a call.

Folks: Don O.. or was it Buggs??? no, I think it was Veronica... Or maybe they all chipped in LOL... Sent me a huge box of materials, including deer hair in every color in the rainbow...And, what I'd love to learn is a popper I saw, that is multi layers of colors, of spun and packed, then trimmed deer hair for the head..(and BTW, that book I said My family gave me for My birthday shows how to make some neat home made packers from dowels with various sized holes drilled depending on the hook eye size, as well as using flat washers, but I think the dowels would work better) Anybody know where I can fine a step by step "how to" on this technique???? I look in the books, VHS, and DVD's I have on tying and none of them show this particular technique.. Thanks in advance, Chuck
