Mini Balsa Wood Lathe and a Tube Popper Fly

Decided to tinker with "material in the scrap bin" and made a Mini Balsa Wood Lathe for making Balsa Wood Popper bodies. Got it put together, and made a fishing fly... calling it the Tube Popper Fly based on the same concept of Tube Fishing Flies where the line passes through the body and the hook is not permanently attached to the body. Like the idea of being able to change hook sizes as needed.

Tips for my next lure!
