Metal Head Fly

Trophy trout can’t resist the Metal Head.

Designed by legendary lure designer Cal Kellogg, the Metal Head Trolling Fly by Catch America was originally created to excel at high-speed trolling. However, extensive on-the-water testing revealed an unexpected advantage—this fly maintains its deadly action even at finesse speeds down to 1.3 MPH. That means more bites, more versatility, and more big fish in the net.

With its premium blend of natural fibers, latex strands, tinsel, and crystal flash, the Metal Head delivers unmatched realism in both movement and appearance. The subtle pulsing action mimics an injured baitfish, triggering aggressive strikes from trout, landlocked salmon, and other predatory fish.

Trophy fish hunters trust the Metal Head for a reason—it produces. Cal has personally landed trout up to 13 pounds, and countless anglers across the U.S. and Canada have hauled in 6+ pound monsters with this fly. It has earned a permanent spot in the trolling spreads of serious anglers who refuse to leave success to chance.
