The Round Dinny was a popular panfish popper produced by the Accardo Tackle Company in the 1950s and 1960s. This iconic popper had an unusual round shape and had a cult-like following among panfish flyfishers. Once available everywhere, including your local Walmart, when the Accardo Tackle Company closed its doors the Round Dinny ceased to exist. The only way to get one today is to tie one your self or purchase one from one of the few excellent fly tiers out there keeping this classic pattern alive.
