The Headbanger Tail 9" combines the patented erratic, evasive headbanging movement with a wiggling, jointed curly tail — the liveliest swimming action Headbanger makes. It works with a simple straight retrieve, but excels with pauses and twitches, and is built for northern pike, muskellunge, and lake trout.
Why anglers fish the Headbanger Tail 9"
- Erratic body action + wiggling curly tail — maximum movement and vibration; pike chase it from across the lake
- Replaceable curly tail — swaps in seconds when fish tear it up
- Three buoyancies — floating, suspending, and sinking cover 0–13 ft
- Cast or troll — the action holds at any speed within its range
When and how to fish it
The Floating version (0–5 ft) shines over shallow weed and in warm water when fish sit high. The Suspending version (5–8.5 ft) hangs motionless on the pause — deadly on followers. The Sinking version (6.5–13 ft) reaches deep edges and cold-water fish. When activity is low, slow everything down and let the curly tail do the work on the drop and the pause.

THE SEARCH FOR SOMETHING DIFFERENT
For a long time, Swedish artist and passionate angler, Dan Lestander, was looking for a long-casting lure that also moved with a pattern that didn’t repeat itself like traditional lures did. After he realized that no such lure existed and the desire for it grew too strong, the only solution was to start experimenting on his own.
He started thinking about how he could create a lure that interacts with its element, water, in a way that would imitate a real wounded and stressed prey much more accurately than what had previously been achieved. He spent more than four years putting in a ton of effort into finding the key to making the lure behave in the way he had envisioned. Using his skills as a professional sculptor, he constructed over 50 different prototypes, handcrafted and handpainted, to test his theories.
The result of his discoveries was a revolutionary construction that made the lures behave in a way that he never could have dreamt about. Soon he found himself with a number of ideas of different lures that could be created with this, now patented, technical construction. These lures are what we are now creating and sharing with you.
