The Headbanger Tail 9" combines the patented erratic, evasive headbanging movement with a wiggling, jointed curly tail — the liveliest swimming action Headbanger makes. It works with a simple straight retrieve, but excels with pauses and twitches, and is built for northern pike, muskellunge, and lake trout.
Why anglers fish the Headbanger Tail 9"
Erratic body action + wiggling curly tail — maximum movement and vibration; pike chase it from across the lake
Replaceable curly tail — swaps in seconds when fish tear it up
Three buoyancies — floating, suspending, and sinking cover 0–13 ft
Cast or troll — the action holds at any speed within its range
When and how to fish it
The Floating version (0–5 ft) shines over shallow weed and in warm water when fish sit high. The Suspending version (5–8.5 ft) hangs motionless on the pause — deadly on followers. The Sinking version (6.5–13 ft) reaches deep edges and cold-water fish. When activity is low, slow everything down and let the curly tail do the work on the drop and the pause.
