Thread: What is this?

    Default What is this?

    I received about a dozen of these in a grab bag (In the mail) from a well known fly shop and have NO IDEA, what they are.

    Made out of aluminum, 1/4? diameter, 3/8? tall.

    If anyone knows what they are and how they are used, DO TELL!

    Pics of one in use would be cool.


    Thanks in advance,

    I'm not sure...are they a special beadhead, with cutouts on the sides to insert eyes?

    No idea, but I would check with the shop if they are open. Curious...

    Unsure of what size they are, but look similar to saltwater trolling lure heads that make bubbles & wakes like fishskulls heads for fly tying.

    As far as I can tell they are plastic baitfish heads.

    One brand is known as 'Fish Skull'. Used for streamers. (oops just noticed the post above said the same thing.)
