I tested my jurgler and it is REALLY weedless. I dragged it through some of the grossest stuff I've ever cast into without even a whisp of weed on it after a dozen casts. It rides up over weed and mat and just slides effortlessly along.
Not only that, it's practically weightless, and casts really easily. Something not all poppers do.
I'm not the greatest tier and I'm hoping that some LMB guy will take a look, try this and maybe even make it better. It only takes a few minutes to tie so if you don't like it you haven't lost much in time.
Here's a picture of it in the water. It's bigger than it looks, after all, it IS on a 4/0 hook.
And here's a link to a down and dirty page of tying instructions. Sorry, I had a picture of the bottom of the fly but it was too blurry to publish.

I guess they call this open sourcing in the computer industry!
