Description

A functional weighted head for tying bottom-hugging streamers. The Bandito Sculpin Head is an evolution of the original Sculpin Helmet. A metal head with a realistic flat-and-broad sculpin profile. Significantly heavier than the Bandito Baitfish Head so that it will sink quickly in fast moving waters, this front fitting design allows the head to be attached to the hook AFTER all the materials are tied. A weighted keel that ensures the streamer swims with the hook up. Add the included Living Eyes and you are done! Available in two sizes and two colors.

Field Notes

Weighted fly-tying head used to build bottom-hugging streamers that get down quickly, especially in fast-moving water. The keel design helps the finished fly ride hook-up, making it useful when you want a streamer to track deeper and stay stable on the retrieve.

Pros

  • Heavy head helps flies sink quickly
  • Keel design keeps streamer riding hook-up
  • Front-fitting design can be added after tying

Cons

  • Only useful for fly tying, not as a finished fly
  • Added weight can be too much for shallow water
