Bob's Banger, Popovic's Pattern Description: Bob Popovic's Banger is a big, simple popper perfect for jacks and cuda and stripers when they're up on top.  This is a pretty quick and easy tie and the fly is tough and holds together well.  Don't forget to tie up a few in a chartreuse color too.

Surf Candy, Popovic's Pattern Description: The Surf Candy has always been an intimidating pattern to me, but with the advent of these new UV resins, the fly becomes pretty dang easy.  A great representation of small glass minnows and a variety of other saltwater baitfish, the Surf Candy can be employed anytime you're fishing salty.
