    The Black & Pink Metal Head Tube is money for steelhead. It is also a solid 'upriver sulky king' fly. The flowing marabou, nice profile and subtle pink mixed in all add up to a great fly.

    Metal Head Tube flies feature the unique Ultra Sonic Cone. The cone has venting holes that make it easy to lift the fly out of the water and simultaneously create a vortex behind the disc. This allows the marabou to flow in the current and not collapse in heavy water.

    Metal Head Tubes come ready to fish with junction tubing and a #2 hook that can be swapped out if it gets damaged. The fly is 2.5 inches in length.

They are the perfect combination of flash, big profile and action.

    A selection of 32 sure-fire steelhead killers! While these flies were selected for the Situk River near Yakutat, they are equally effective all over the state. It took our local steelhead think tank quite a few evenings at the local watering hole to narrow the list down to these favorites.
