The evolution of the versatile and easy-to-tie solution for tying weighted streamer flies.

Design by Martin Bawden

The Bandito Baitfish Head is the latest reiteration of the original, popular Baitfish Head and is a metal head with a realistic baitfish profile with unique design features making it a versatile platform for tying a wide variety of streamer patterns. Quick and easy to tie, this groundbreaking innovation in fly tying offers an exciting alternative to using dumbbells or cones to weight your streamers. A set of matching Fish-Skull Living Eyes is included with the heads in your pack.

Key Features and Benefits:

Realistic Baitfish Profile: Replicating the head, eyes, and gill plates of a baitfish. Its unique design also enhances water displacement, making it irresistible to predatory game fish.

Front-Fitting Design: Streamline your tying process with ease. Simply tie in all materials first, then attach the Bait fish from the front, saving valuable tying time.

Fish-Skull® Living Eyes: Included in matching sizes and colors, these lifelike eyes act as a powerful trigger for hungry predators, adding realism to your streamers.

Weighted Keel: This distributes most of the weight to the bottom of your hook, ensuring it swims correctly. This design flexibility gives you the option to tie with the hook facing either down or up.

Top and Bottom Slots: Enables free movement of tying materials, allowing you to craft broader-profile streamers and achieve natural, lifelike action.

Versatile Colors: Choose from three popular colors (black, green, or silver) to match a wide range of natural and synthetic fly-tying materials. The anodized finish adds flash and durability.
