Adding these topwater patterns and sizes to the website soon, sizes 1/0 to 5/0. Also I finished a small batch of Chartreuse and White 1/0 Bob's Bangers. The Original Bob's Banger is a slender saltwater fly tied with bucktail for the tail.
For freshwater Bass and Pike I find the Marabou banger works well with larger diameter heads, long marabou tails and lots long of bright opal and metallic flashabou folded to both sides of the tail.
The Bullet dog does an easy walk the dog but frequently gets hit better with harder darting sharp rips that move more water and sometimes rip the surface.
The dive bangers work best fished like a popper with a steady rhythm of sharp short medium sized pops. It sounds slightly different and has more up and down nodding along with the popping and surface disturbance. It can be fished faster with and erratic sub surface darting and bobbing action.
