Details Tie articulated baitfish poppers to offer predatory fish a vulnerable easy meal. Design by Martin Bawden. NEW small size and yellow Howitzer baitfish popper heads offer an exciting widened range of fly tying possibilities and fishing situations. The Howitzer is a next-generation soft foam popper head that provides new options for tying articulated baitfish poppers. The Howitzer imitates the head of a small minnow (or baitfish) that is splashing and sipping at the surface of the water. It&';s designed with a deep recess at the back of the head so that an articulated body and tail of a minnow can be embedded seamlessly into the back of the head. As a result, the body of the minnow hangs down in the water (roughly at a 45-degree angle) and moves enticingly in a position that can be seen by predatory fish from a long distance and offers them an irresistible profile and an easy opportunity for a meal!
