Overview

The Head To Tail Baitfish material is a uniquely crafted synthetic fiber blend designed to make building realistic, color-transitioning baitfish patterns fast and effective. This ready-to-tie material features long, supple fibers pre-blended in smooth gradient transitions that flow naturally from one color to another—creating depth, movement, and lifelike silhouettes with minimal trimming or layering. Ideal for both freshwater and saltwater patterns, it’s an excellent choice for fly tyers who want to produce consistent, attractive flies that mimic natural prey.

These fibers shed water quickly and resist absorbing excess weight, making your flies easy to cast even when tied large. The tapering of color from head to tail mimics real baitfish anatomy and creates a natural focal point, helping to trigger more aggressive strikes. Whether you're tying streamers for trout and bass or larger saltwater flies for stripers, snook, or tarpon, this material gives your patterns professional-level realism right out of the pack.

The Head To Tail Baitfish material is available in a broad range of pre-dyed fades, including Fade Black To Dark Purple, Fade Chartreuse To White, Fade Dark Green To Electric Yellow, Fade Grey To Shrimp, and many more. These blends make it easy to match baitfish in your local waters or experiment with high-contrast attractor patterns.Read More +
