The Howitzer head fits perfectly with my articulated tail setup. It looks realistic and moves naturally in the water. I’ve caught several small bass using it in early morning fishing.

Great addition to my fly box. The yellow color stands out in clear water and the popper head mimics a real minnow well. It’s easy to tie and works well in calm conditions.
