Tie articulated baitfish poppers to offer predatory fish a vulnerable easy meal.
Design by Martin Bawden. 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!- Medium Length 20 mm x Width 19 mm x Height 14 mm. Fits #2 - 2/0 long-shank streamer hooks, 20 mm Fish-Skull Articulated Shanks or Fish-Spines, and 6 mm eyes. Large Length 26 mm x Width 24 mm x Height 19 mm. Fits 3/0 - 5/0 long-shank "predator" style hooks, 20 mm Fish-Skull Big Game Shanks, and 8.5 mm eyes.

Tie realistic micro flies with true-to-life movement and take your trout and small fly fishing to the next level with Chocklett’s™ Articulated Micro-Spine.
Created in partnership with renowned fly tyer and fishing guide Blane Chocklett, the new Chocklett's Articulated Micro-Spine allows fly tyers to take the Game Changer style of fly tying to completely new territory. The sky is the limit for realistically imitating insects, small baitfish, crustaceans, and other aquatic critters with never-before-possible lifelike movement. The new triangular back-loop design reduces the gap between segments and makes it easier to fit in your fly tying vise jaws. The system is comprised of 3 different shanks (8mm, 6mm and a 6mm long Tail Shank) which can be connected ("daisy chained") in a limitless number of different combinations to create virtually any highly articulated, small fly you desire. The three individual shanks in the system can be purchased in individual size packs (25 shanks per pack), but the best way to get started is to buy the Starter Pack which combines all 3 size packs at a discounted price (3 packs x 25 shanks = 75 shanks). -
Tie next-generation foam poppers, sliders, and divers.
Design by Martin Bawden. The Double Barrel is an innovative, modern, soft-foam popper body that makes it easy to tie the most popular popper, slider, and diver flies being used today to target various species from panfish to sailfish! It has several unique design advantages over other popper bodies and is available in a comprehensive range of sizes and colors, allowing you to tie a full spectrum of flies. The versatile foam head can be tied on with the cup facing forward to create popper flies, and can be tied on in reverse to create slider, diver, and Sneaky Pete style foam flies. -
Blane Chocklett is one of the fly fishing industry’s most forward-thinking and innovative fly tyers. Essentially a tapered daisy-chain, the Fish-Spine is a series of specifically-designed articulated shanks that allow you to create multi-jointed, highly articulated streamers. To tie your own Game Changer, simply combine the Fish-Spine with Chocklett's Body Wrap and ultra-realistic eyes.If you enjoy tying Game Changer style flies but get frustrated with tying the tail section, the NEW Tail Shank is the solution you've been looking for.
The Tail Shank is the newest addition to the Fish-Skull Articulated Fish-Spine system and is designed to simplify and improve the tail tying process. We've essentially modified the design of a Fish-Spine shank by removing the rear loop and replacing it with a tag, which is to be used as an easy way for you to place the Tail Shank in your fly tying vise. Now, rather than having to try the difficult process of tying around the rear loop of a shank or modifying the shank by cutting part of it off, you can easily tie a neater tail with more taper using the Tail Shank. Quantity per pack: Individual sizes and Tail Shank (24); Starter Pack (6 x 4 sizes = 24) -

Blane Chocklett is widely regarded as one of the best big game anglers, fly tiers, and guides in the world. Chocklett's Body Tubing is the authentic "secret ingredient" used by Blane in everything from trout flies to pike flies for heads, to segment the bodies, and to keep the materials flared up, allowing them to push more water and have the illusion of bulk — the hollow fly effect — while being light and castable all day. Allows for easier body tapering of larger flies tied from deer hair or other fibres. Protects thread wraps from the fish's teeth. Makes the fly push more water. For use in fresh and saltwater streamers. Comes as ½" x 2ft -
