Popgear is another name for a gang troll. Now, what's a gang troll?

These pieces of equipment generally consist of a wire leader with two to six spinner blades of different sizes and assorted colored beads, usually red.

Some folks will finish it off with a simple snelled hook and worm, or add a weddingring spinner or even a dick nite spoon. These are also sometimes called ford fenders of double willow leafs depending upon the shape of the spinner blades.

If you have fished for kokanee,( I know, what's a kokanee), you have probably used one of these.

They are very good producers for trout, but some folks don't like them, like me, because they put a lot of pressure on your rod, and it gets in the way of fighting the fish.

I hope this helps, if not, someone else may be able to describe it in better detail.
