cfish- I generally refer to any surface beach fly as a popper but many of them are really more of a slider than a popper. i used a spun deer hair head slider last year with great success off the beaches around here. it was basically a deciever with a spun head and eyes. It is a great little fly. Also you can take a baitfish pattern and put a Rainy;s pee-wee pop head infront of it and you have a slider or popper depending on how you put the head on.
