BAIT HOODS

This new Baithood gives weight to the baitfish and it has a diving vane that gives a realistic swimming action through the water.

The sizes and types available at the moment fit Roach 4 to 5" long and Trout 5 to 6" long, more styles and sizes will be available shortly, we aim to have bait heads that will fit the fish commonly sold in Baitpacks from the likes of Lucebaits and Baitbox. PRICE £6.50 each
