Bob Popovics, the mastermind of modern saltwater fly tying and all around great person, gave us the legendary "Bob's Banger"—a popper that’s been slaying saltwater gamefish for decades. Stripers, bluefish, jacks, mahi-mahi—you name it, they’ll smash it.

With its flashy finish and rowdy, topwater antics, the Banger is a party starter for predatory fish. Designed for Northeast stripers but loved by everything from redfish to bass to barracuda, this fly gets it done. Toss it on a floating line for subtle pops or a sinking line for wild, splashy action. Every angler needs a Banger in their box!
