Very interesting look Dave. Mr. Pike had better watch out for this one. There was a fly in Lefty's original SW pattern book called a "fender fly" that was nearly identical, but it required so many complicated steps that I never bothered trying to tie one. The Fisheadz ought to make it a snap. I checked them out the Deer Creek site, and the one they have pictured is very similar in appearance to jigs that the saltwater crowd used to call "Japanese Feathers." They were deadly on striped bass, and a lot of modern tuna/billfish lures are modeled after them. The originals had tin or lead heads.

thanks for the comments these are very nice heads and in various sizes as well so you can do really small bait fish (which i'm doing on Monday) here's a quick shot from a blog post i'm doing of the headz being peeled off , i spoke to nick yesterday and hes developing some new headz just now which are going to be hot for the salt water guys , i'm going to spend most of Monday playing with them so expect a few new pictures :)

Those are really cool. I have tied some up similar but haven't used much yet.
