Topwater Trophy Bait. Wakebait. Propbait. Swimbait. Four Presentations in One Surface Bait. Built for Trophy Pike \u0026amp; Musky.\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eHeadbanger Spitfire 6-1\/2\"\u003c\/strong\u003e 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePatented Headbanger Action + Surface Design\u003c\/strong\u003e — the patented Headbanger erratic movement translated to a topwater presentation;
