Here is a Stealth Bomber cutter set distributed by River Road Creations. If you have not fished Kent Edmund's Stealth Bomber you need to start cutting foam right away. The Stealth Bomber is a great bass and panfish pattern....in fact, it is one of my favorites of all time.
This is a very durable, easy to tie pattern that is also very economical. All of that stuff aside, this fly is a blast to tie. Use Ward Beans barber pole leg technique and you will have very attractive and VERY FISHY flies!

Here is my version of Kent's Stealth Bomber. I didn't use these cutters, but it would have been nice to have them. I called our version the Hopper Popper.

Kent really has a winner with the Stealth Bomber. Here is a copy of the tying instructions with the template for the body. The cutters make this pattern a breeze to put together though. If the cutters are out of your price range here is a link to the original pattern.

I really like the foam popper mainly because of the presentation on the water; very light. Thanks for sharing
