Howitzer Baitfish Popper Heads

Howitzer Baitfish Popper Heads — Next-Generation Articulated Surface Flies

Picture a wounded minnow sipping and splashing at the surface — helpless, exposed, impossible to ignore. That's exactly what the Howitzer puts in front of predatory fish. This next-generation soft foam popper head is engineered to trigger the most aggressive, instinct-driven strikes in fly fishing.

How It Works

The Howitzer features a deep recess at the back of the head that allows an articulated baitfish body and tail to embed seamlessly into the foam. The result: the body hangs down at roughly a 45-degree angle, undulating enticingly just below the surface — visible from a long distance and presenting predators with an irresistible, vulnerable profile they can't pass up.

Key Features

• Next-generation soft foam construction — realistic feel and action on the water
• Deep rear recess for seamless articulated body integration
• 45-degree hanging body angle — maximizes visibility and movement for predatory fish
• Imitates a wounded, surface-sipping baitfish — one of the most effective predator triggers
• Fits hook sizes 3/0 to 6/0 with 8.5mm eyes
• 6 heads per pack

Perfect For

Bass, pike, musky, stripers, snook, tarpon — any predator that hunts near the surface will eat a fly built on the Howitzer. Tie it with a bucktail or synthetic baitfish body and fish it on a slow strip for explosive topwater strikes.
