1. Realistic Baitfish Profile

The Fish-Skull design mimics the head, eyes and gill plates of a baitfish producing a more realistic looking profile.

The realistic size head typically pushes more water than traditional flies.

2. Weight

Fish-Skull adds weight to your streamer pattern. They are made from a lightweight metal composite that allow us to create a realistic size fish-head with a large surface area, but without adding excessive weight.

They weigh roughly about the same as an equivalent hook size dumbbell. Weight as follows: Small skull is 0.48 grams (0.17 ounce), Small-Medium skull is 0.79 grams (0.028 ounces), Medium skull is 1.26 grams (0.044 ounces), and the Large skull is 2.46 grams (0.087 ounces).
Made from a 100% lead free metal composite material that is guaranteed to be corrosion free for up to 80 hours in saltwater.

3. Built-in Keel

Unique design feature places the center of gravity and 70% of the weight of the Fish-Skull slightly below the hook shank producing a keeling effect similar to a dumbbell.

The keel helps the fly track and orientate in the correct position.

Allows the fly to be tied in either the hook down or the hook up position if desired.

4. Realistic 3D Eyes

Act as an important trigger for predatory game fish.

A full set of 3D eyes is included with the Fish-Skull heads in the bag which eliminates the additional cost of buying eyes.

Each pack of SMALL size has 10 skulls, MEDIUM size has 8 skulls, SMALL-MEDIUM size has 8 skulls and the LARGE size has 6 skulls.

Sunken eye sockets in the Fish-Skull give fly tiers the option to use any other make, style or color of fish eye if they choose to do so.

5. Top and Bottom Slots

Enables broader profile flies to be tied.
