Description

The functional yet easy-to-tie solution for weighted streamer flies. The Bandito Baitfish Head is an evolution of the popular Baitfish Head. A metal head with a realistic baitfish profile with sockets to fit eyes, this is a great alternative to using dumbbells or cones to weight your streamers. The front fitting design allows the head to be attached to the hook AFTER all the materials are tied. Slots allow you to tie the hook in either facing up or down and still maintain a keel that ensures the fly swims correctly. Add the included Living Eyes and you are done! Available in three sizes and three colors to match any fishery.

Field Notes

Used as a weighted head for streamer flies when you want a baitfish profile and better swimming posture. It helps the fly track keel-down and can be tied on after the materials are finished, making it useful for streamers fished in rivers, lakes, or saltwater situations where you want added weight without dumbbells or cones.

Pros

  • Adds weight and a realistic baitfish profile
  • Front-fit design makes tying easier after materials are completed
  • Slots help the fly swim correctly hook-up or hook-down

Cons

  • Only useful for streamer fly tying
  • Requires matching hook and fly-tying skill
