Description

The Bullethead Baitfish, a pike and muskie fly, is a must-have for anglers seeking the elusive toothy critters. This substantial streamer, with its bold design, pushes plenty of water and generates enough commotion to attract the attention of these predatory fish. Known for eliciting exciting takes, this fly has proven its worth by bringing the critters from the depths. For those seeking a unique twist, the Bullethead Baitfish is even recommended for saltwater pursuits, enticing stripers with its distinctive characteristics and action.

Pro Tip

Retrieve the Bullethead Baitfish with short, erratic strips to mimic a darting or panicked baitfish. Pause occasionally to allow the fly to suspend or sink slightly, replicating the movements of a wounded fish. For deep water or fast currents, pair the fly with a sinking line to maintain the desired depth and keep it in the strike zone longer.
