Fish-Skull Fish-Mask by Hareline

The Fish-Skull Fish-Mask is a lightweight, transparent head designed to simplify the process of creating realistic baitfish profiles in streamer patterns. Molded from crystal-clear fluoro-epoxy, it allows underlying materials to show through, enhancing the natural appearance of the fly. The mask features recessed eye sockets that securely hold 3D eyes, such as Fish-Skull Living Eyes, corresponding in size (e.g., a #6 Fish-Mask fits 6mm eyes).

Ideal for tying weightless streamers that suspend in the water column, the Fish-Mask offers a clean and effective alternative to traditional epoxy heads. Its front-fitting design makes it quick and easy to use: tie in all materials, slide the mask over the hook eye, and secure it with a small thread dam. Compatible with various hook sizes and articulated shanks, it’s a versatile addition to any fly tyer’s toolkit.

The #6 sizeis best suited for medium to large baitfish imitations, making it a go-to for a range of freshwater and saltwater predator flies.
