FLY TYING: Tying a Topwater PIKE POPPER (Tie TV ft. Niklaus Bauer)

- Using poppers or other topwater flies for pike might not always be the most effective technique, but we can all agree that there's NOTHING like seing a pike, big or small, completely DESTROY the fly in the surface...
In this episode of Tie TV, Niklaus Bauer will tie his all-time favorite topwater pike fly. It has a Howitzer popper head which creates a lot of noise and attraction, but still the body and tail of the fly rides quite low in the water, which makes it easier for the pike to attack, and this fly will usually work even when regular poppers don't.
GIVE AWAY! Do you have a good name suggestion for this fly? Write it in the comments and we'll pick our favorite, and you will win the fly tied in this video (it's pretty well-chewed, but it still works fine).
List with all exact materials used:
Hook: Partridge Predator CS86 X 4/0 in the front and Partridge Attitude Extra 1/0 in the back.
Glue: Zap brush on, Devcon Epoxy 5 min
Thread: Textreme Power thread 100D
Connection: Partridge 49 strand pike wire 40 pound. 20mm Fish skull Articulated shank,
One 6mm articulated bead your color choice.
Connection for Wiggle tail:
Partridge 49 strand pike wire 20 pound, Fastach size 0, one 2mm bead
Head: Howitzer Baitfish Popper Head Large Yellow Chartreuse
Eyes: Epoxy eyes 5,5mm Fl.red
Tail: Dragon tail Large Fl. Yellow or Wave tail XXL Fl. Chartreuse
Body: Extra Select Craft fur in Fl. Yellow and Fl. Orange, Polar reflector Flash in Yellow and Hot Orange, Ripple Ice Fiber Shrimp pink and Electric Ripple Ice Fiber Fl.Orange
Will you tie this fly? Where would you use it? We'd love to hear your thoughts in the comments!

Just tied 2 of these! Love this pattern Niklaus! Bauer’s Big Bad Poppa
'Articulated Submerger' the best studio background ever!
Awesome movie and streamer Niklaus
Think "Dragonsnake pop(per)" is a great name for it. Nice tying and great looking fly
My guy, this popper is a must have for me here in Canada. I've searched the web to purchase already made with no avail. I've also found your pike fly start up kit to make my own butnyou seem to be sold out. Can you help me out in any way please. Your top water mama video in the attic is priceless!! I need to get me some pikes with that lure.
Well done sir!!
The Dragonslayer! Awesome fly, can't wait to tie up some and throw to pike here in Montana this spring!
Hey brother, where in Montana is your favorite pike fishing? Fort Peck??
Ive seen you tie the tails using both buck tail and craft fur. How do you determine which to use?
Love this fly . I'll tie up several in this color and several black and purple and maybe a couple of white and silver . I will call mine the pikeinator !!
Pop-Stradamus
Definitely tying this fly in a black/brown for some Winefred, AB, CAN 127cm monsters I've seen eating muskrats. I like the rollie pollie action! It looks very similar to a muskrat swimming on the surface.
Thanks for all the info Niklaus. I've been learning a lot from you, and it all works. I got a 36" on the "baltic herring" from an old video.
Nice vid,
I will call him: The Bauer popper.
Tight lines guys.
wow, awesome fly. fluo flapper will be great
Very nice instructive video, thanks! I was wondering what the weight is once it’s wet. Is it possible to cast with a spinning rod? I hope I don’t offend any fly fisherman with this question😄
Great episode Big Mammas, would love to go there some day. I would call the fly "Dragon POP", keepin it simple. Looking forward to the next episode.
Hey Niklaus. Just a question. Can we post pics of the flies we tied after seeing your tutorials. Would be great to see what people come up with after your GREAT lessons :)
Great tying and superb video, especially at midnight. A few name suggestions could be -
Midnight Esox Dragon
Esox popping dragon
Popping Pike Candy
PMD - Pop the Magic Dragon 😂

Excellent, really enjoy your videos! For a name the "Sonic Boom"!
hello, i would like to ask what the lifespan of streams is. How many instructions will last. How many pike destroyed is?
Great vid I can't wait to tyi one up for this spring here in Mn for the name for the fly the carpet munch
So you are up north...it only can be a lemming! And it is popping! Wait! It is the Popping lemming a "Poppming"
What weight rod are you casting these with?? Also what’s your leader/tippet set up to turn these over? Great video, thanks!!
Your Beard.... Your flys 💪
I would call of bopper :) Greetings from Germany
The Big Mamapop is my suggestion.
Hi Nicholas, great fly, great film.....given you use titanium wire for stingers and other hook rigs (55lb?) why not use titanium here for the front hook loop? Does it really snap? Is it the fatigue of the flexing of the shank? I use the knot2kinky stuff....and it seems pretty robust?
fire power because the yellow and orange collor. and it
has the power to catch big pike.
The reluctant dragon popper.
If you didn't watch the cartoon you need to.
"Gjeddhora`n från helvete" er et fint navn.
Can you use buck tail as well or is craft fur better?
This would work a treat for bass.
But I refuse to tye flies....already make ammo and have pokers in many fires lol. Or so my wife says....
Love your show! You can ship the fly to Canada if you want :p
Hey love your videos was just wondering what reel and line set up would you recommend I was given a scienrra pike fly rod as a present and I'm a bit confused on what reel and line to buy thanks

Can you buy these already made?
cool stuff dudes!!
Why should I use the shank between stinger hook and the main hook? Is it only to make the fly longer or did it has any more funktion? Think to tie this fly but skip the shank part (dont have any at home). :)
The name: Howinator :)
Mikael Ekroth Shank adds additional articulation..makes it a 3 piece vs 2. You can probably still tie without shank but wont be as long or have as much movement
Call it the Pike Popper... can always add color in front (Yellow Pike Popper) for example.

The Poprrot or popping parrot
Not sure about the pike specie is in your latitude, but my name would be “TIGERPop” Basic on the following...
The tiger muskellunge (Esox masquinongy × lucius or Esox lucius × masquinongy), commonly called tiger muskie, is a carnivorous fish, and is the usually-sterile, hybrid offspring of the true muskellunge (Esox masquinongy) and the northern pike (Esox lucius). It lives in fresh water and its range extends to Canada, the Northeast, and the Midwest United States. It grows quickly; in one study, tiger muskie grew 1.5 times as fast as muskellunge...
Great patterns, wonder if you guys try to develop same fly pattern on a tube?
Thank you.
Best

Niklaus, what size rod and what line are you using to throw these beasts?
Steve Young Hi Steve
I use a Vision merisuola 9' # 10 and a Big Mama floating line
Thanks, Niklaus. Just wondering about the 9 foot rod .... do you find that a 10 foot rod gives you any advantage over a 9 foot one for throwing bigger pike flies?
