The Fish Head Zonker is a compact baitfish streamer built around the natural movement of a rabbit zonker strip. The soft rabbit wing pulses and breathes in the water, while the large fish-head style front creates a defined baitfish profile and adds weight to help the fly track below the surface. Flash and a contrasting throat provide extra attraction, making it a versatile pattern for trout, sea trout, and other predatory fish.
Its combination of strong silhouette, lots of movement, and a prominent eye makes it particularly effective when fish are actively chasing small baitfish.
