Headbanger RockerHead Stinger | FireTail Stinger Harness | 90° Side Turn on Pause | BKK Hooks | Pike & Musky

Stinger Harness for the Headbanger FireTail. Signature 90° Side Turn on the Pause. Weighted Zinc RockerHead. BKK Stainless Hooks. Pike & Musky.

The Headbanger RockerHead Stinger is a stinger harness designed specifically for the Headbanger FireTail — built for normal to slow retrieves with pauses that turn the bait up to 90 degrees to the side. An action previously unseen in soft baits. That sideways turn on the stop is the moment pike and musky commit. The stinger hook converts the short strikes that a single-hook rig loses. The weighted zinc RockerHead drops the bait to mid-depth fish along weed edges and drop-offs, with an easy snap-and-screw weight swap system for adjusting depth. Rigged with sharp BKK stainless-steel hooks. Available in 5 sizes matched to FireTail models.

Key Features

• Signature 90° Side Turn on the Pause — slow the retrieve and pause; the FireTail turns up to 90 degrees sideways on the stop — an action no other soft bait produces; the turn is the primary strike trigger for pike and musky following a slow retrieve
• Stinger Hook — a trailing stinger converts short strikes into landed fish; pike and musky that swipe at the tail are hooked on the stop rather than lost; critical on slow-retrieve presentations where fish are following and nipping
• Weighted Zinc RockerHead — the cupped zinc head drives the rocking action and adds weight for reaching mid-depth fish; heavier than a standard stinger setup for fishing weed edges and drop-offs rather than pure surface presentations
• Snap-and-Screw Weight System — easily swap the head weight without re-rigging the bait; adjust depth on the water in seconds to match changing conditions or target depths
• BKK Stainless-Steel Hooks — sharp, corrosion-resistant hooks on both the main hook and stinger for maximum hookup ratio on hard-running trophy fish
• 5 Sizes Matched to FireTail Models — V2 M (9/20 oz) | V2 L (9/20 oz) | V2 XL (4/5 oz) | For FireTail 7" (9/20 oz) | For FireTail 8.5" (4/5 oz)

How to Fish It

• Slow Retrieve with Pauses — the primary technique; retrieve at normal to slow speed and build in deliberate pauses; the FireTail turns sideways on the stop and sits broadside in the water column — an irresistible trigger for following pike and musky
• The Pause-and-Turn Trigger — when fish are following but not committing on the move, extend the pause; the longer the bait sits broadside, the longer the fish has to commit; the stinger ensures any contact on the pause is a hookup
• Weed Edges & Drop-Offs — use the weighted RockerHead to reach mid-depth fish holding along deeper weed edges and drop-offs; the weight holds the bait at depth through slow retrieves without losing the pause-and-turn action
• Size Matching — match the stinger size to your FireTail model; M and L sizes for the FireTail 7", XL and the dedicated 8.5" size for the FireTail 8-1/2"
