Kent Edmonds' Stealth Bomber
Foam Popper/Diver
Cutters
Thanks to Kent's overwhelming enthusiasm, River Road Creations is
pleased to release Kent Edmonds Stealth Bomber cutter pattern to tyers
everywhere. We are thrilled that Kent has spent so much time and
energy working with us over the past few months to produce a "new and
improved" version of the hugely popular Stealth Bomber. As
you have read from Kent's own website:
"One of my favorite flies for bass and bream is Turck's Tarantula.
The Tarantula was designed as a trout fly and won the Jackson Hole
One-Fly contest a few years back, but I like it for bass and bream. The
Stealth Bomber is a foam
diver/slider
designed to duplicate the diving motion and the resulting bubble trail
made when the Tarantula is given a hard strip (drives `em crazy).
The Stealth has become my "go-to" topwater for all the black bass
species and big bream. It casts easily without the twisting of lipped
flies but dives enticingly on the strip. The rear tab of foam and the
air space below it captures air which bubbles on the dive. The
turbulence it creates, along with the dynamics of the wing, cause the
fly to wiggle side-to-side. And because it sits a little lower in the
water than the traditional bass popper, the hook-up ratio is quite
good.)
I tie some in bright color combinations and add of flash wings and
rubber legs. The "stealth" name hardly applies to its appearance, but
its action can still be quite stealthy. With soft little strips it will
wiggle and maybe "bloop" slightly. Strip with a just a little bit more
vigor and it will dive and bubble, but still stay in the target zone
(the strip here should be very quick, but very short). Give it a longer,
harder strip and it will dive hard and create a major commotion."
