Overview
The 40 Pieces Fly Fishing Poppers set bundles 40 flies for $18.99, targeting bass, panfish, salmon, and trout with a stainless steel pointed hook. That multi-species listing sets it apart from the trout-only dry flies nearby, making it a broader starter set rather than a specialist pattern built around one fish.
Every fly in the pack is listed at a single medium size with an assorted color mix, so there is no size grading the way the Adams 1010 offers across its 12-piece set. The tradeoff is piece count. At 40 flies for $18.99, this pack delivers more than three times the flies of the Adams dozen for roughly 2.4 times the price, which changes the math for anglers who lose flies often.
On a per-fly basis, $18.99 across 40 pieces works out to about 47 cents each, compared to roughly 67 cents per fly on the $7.99 Adams dozen and Adams 1010 sets. The 4.4-star rating across 198 reviews, alongside 50-plus units bought last month, suggests the multi-species pitch and bulk pricing resonate with buyers who want a general-purpose popper box rather than a single-species set for one type of water.
Pros
- 40 pieces for $18.99 works out to about 47 cents per fly, cheaper per unit than the $7.99 dozens nearby
- Covers four species (bass, panfish, salmon, trout) rather than trout alone
- Stainless steel pointed hook construction across the full set
- 4.4-star rating across 198 reviews shows a solid review base
- 50-plus bought last month indicates ongoing, current demand
- Assorted colors give variety across a single popper style
Cons
- Only one listed size, medium, with no size grading like the Adams 1010's assortment
- No breakdown of exact color count within the assorted mix
- Fewer reviews (198) than the Adams dozen's 292 at a similar star rating
- Popper style is less specialized than a dedicated dry fly pattern for selective trout

Performance notes
A stainless steel pointed hook across all 40 poppers means the pack is built for repeat casting without the hook itself being the weak point, which matters when a set covers four species with different strike styles. Listing bass, panfish, salmon, and trout together signals this is a general-purpose popper assortment rather than a hatch-matching kit, so anglers moving between farm ponds and small streams in the same trip get one box instead of several. The single medium size and assorted color spread trade precision for breadth. That works for topwater panfish and bass action where exact sizing matters less than having enough flies on hand, but it is a mismatch for anglers chasing a specific trout hatch that needs graded sizes like the 10, 12, and 14 spread seen on more specialized packs.
What buyers say
A 4.4-star average across 198 reviews puts this pack in the same rating tier as the Adams dozen at 4.4 stars and 292 reviews, though with a smaller overall review base to draw on. The 50-plus bought last month figure shows steady recent turnover rather than a stalled listing that only sold well when it first launched. Given the multi-species pitch and 40-piece count at $18.99, the rating pattern suggests buyers are satisfied with the value proposition of more flies for less per unit, even without the size grading offered by smaller, pricier competing packs in the same trout-focused fly category.

Frequently asked questions
How many species can I target with this popper set?
The listing covers bass, panfish, salmon, and trout, making it a multi-species set rather than a trout-only dry fly pack. That range is wider than the Adams alternatives nearby, which are listed specifically for trout fishing on smaller streams and rivers.
What is the per-fly cost on this 40-piece set?
At $18.99 for 40 flies, the cost works out to about 47 cents per fly. That is cheaper per unit than the $7.99 Adams dozen and Adams 1010 sets, which land closer to 67 cents per fly each on a smaller total count.
Does this pack offer different fly sizes?
No, the listing shows a single medium size across all 40 pieces with an assorted color mix. Anglers who need graded sizing for selective trout should look at a pack like the Adams 1010, which lists an assortment size range instead.
