Headbanger Spitfire | 6-1/2" | Topwater | Wakebait + Propbait + Swimbait | VMC Trebles | 12 Colors

6-1/2". Topwater Trophy Bait. Wakebait. Propbait. Swimbait. Four Presentations in One Surface Bait. Built for Trophy Pike & Musky.

The Headbanger Spitfire 6-1/2" brings the patented Headbanger invention to big-water topwater fishing — wakebait, propbait, and swimbait combined into one surface bait built to pull trophy pike and musky up from depth. The transparent Action Lip creates a snakelike surface action at slow speeds and explosive spray and commotion at fast retrieves. A larger prop amplifies the wake and surface disturbance to call fish up from deep structure. You control the action — slow it to a quiet, subtle wake on calm evenings or burn it across the surface in wind and stained water. Rigged with heavy-duty VMC 7266 #1/0 trebles. Available in 12 colors.

Key Features

• Patented Headbanger Action + Surface Design — the patented Headbanger erratic movement translated to a topwater presentation; the unique action profile that no other surface bait replicates
• 4-in-1 Versatility — functions as a wakebait, propbait, swimbait, and topwater depending on retrieve speed and rod angle; one bait covers the full range of surface presentations
• Transparent Action Lip — drives the snakelike, side-to-side surface action at a crawl; creates spray and explosive surface commotion at speed; the mechanism that makes the Spitfire different from every other topwater
• Larger Prop — bigger prop generates more spray, more bubble trail, and more surface disturbance to call trophy pike and musky up from depth; visible and audible from distance in both clear and stained water
• You Control the Action — slow retrieve = subtle, snakelike wake; fast retrieve = explosive surface commotion; adjust in real time based on fish activity and water conditions
• Heavy-Duty VMC 7266 #1/0 Trebles — trophy-grade hooks for maximum strength on hard-running, head-shaking pike and musky
• 12 Colors — Ghost Shad | Holo Silver | Natural Shad | Golden Shiner | Pearl White | Bluegill | Black | Natural Perch | Blue/White | Firetiger | Motoroil/Green | Red/Black

How to Fish It

• Prime Conditions — warm water over shallow structure is prime time: weed flats, rock bars, river mouths, and shallow bays where pike and musky hunt high and feed aggressively on the surface
• Slow Wake Retrieve — slow, steady retrieve with the rod tip low; the Action Lip creates a subtle snakelike surface action with a small wake; the go-to on calm evenings, clear water, and when fish are surface-aware but skittish
• Fast Burn — burn it across the surface at speed; the prop throws spray and the bait creates explosive commotion; effective in wind, choppy water, and stained conditions when fish need a big visual and audible signal
• Wind & Stained Water — increase speed and use the prop noise and surface spray to compensate for reduced visibility; faster, splashier retrieves call fish to the surface that can’t track a subtle presentation
• Calm Evenings — switch to a slow, quiet wake; let the snakelike action do the work; fish sitting high and feeding selectively respond to the subtle presentation over the aggressive burn
• The Strike — keep reeling through the strike until you feel the fish; do not pull the bait away on the visual explosion — trophy pike and musky topwater strikes require commitment, not a reaction hookset
• Color Selection — Ghost Shad, Natural Shad, and Holo Silver for clear water and shad imitation; Natural Perch, Golden Shiner, and Bluegill for forage-matching; Firetiger in stained water; Black for low-light and night; Red/Black as a triggering color; Pearl White for maximum visibility on overcast days
