The Catch America Anchovy Bait Head is engineered to give you the natural roll-and-scent presentation of a cut-plug anchovy without the mess and inconsistency of working with real bait. Its UV Blue Violet finish enhances visibility at depth and in low-light conditions, while the precisely molded anchovy profile produces the same rolling action that salmon and trout have been keying on for generations. The two-pack format means you always have a fresh bait head ready to swap in when the action picks up or a hook change is needed. Available rigged and unrigged to match your preferred leader setup.
The Classic Anchovy Bait Head holds a whole anchovy or baitfish, four to seven inches long, and spins it into a tight, revolving wounded baitfish action. That roll mimics injured prey and draws strikes from Pacific salmon and other game fish. It trolls in both saltwater and freshwater lakes.
The bait head uses Ultra-Violet Blue Violet Jelly Fish technology to boost visibility underwater. It shines at daybreak, in low light, and at depths up to 700 feet where UV penetration stays strong. Salmon have nerve cells sensitive to blue and green light, so the glow pulls them in.
Thaw frozen bait carefully, then fit the baitfish head into the cavity with its back aligned to the leader exit hole. Lock it with the included plastic pin or a toothpick. Slide the hook five to six inches down the leader and set it into the side behind the dorsal fin.
After rigging, drop the bait beside the boat and watch the action. Adjust the bait in the head until it produces a tight, revolving wounded baitfish spin. A slow, controlled roll looks natural, while a wide sloppy wobble usually means the bait needs repositioning. Fine tune before you let it back.
The Anchovy Bait Head comes in rigged options, unrigged two-packs, and helmet-only choices across colors like Clear, Chartreuse, Green, Red, Blue, Purple Haze, and Watermelon. Choose rigged for a ready leader and hook, or unrigged and helmet-only when you build your own leaders and want the head alone.
Add the Optimizer Size 3 trolling spoon to your salmon and trout arsenal. It is a fast-troll spoon that runs clean, a different presentation from the rolling anchovy. Carrying both lets you switch between rolled bait and hardware until you learn what triggers strikes that day.
