Cottarelli | Leon Head

Detachable head for use with deluxe vises or T-Rex vises.

The Leon Head is a head that allows you to set tails proportionally, wind beautiful tapered bodies, and work wing space easily and precisely while maintaining space from the fly's hook eye to the soluxe.

It will enhance the artistry of your flies by making proportions easier to control on dry and wet fly salmon flies.

The head is a very useful tool for fishing with a hand vise. The head also makes it easier to replicate the proportions of a Catskill dry fly or classic wet and salmon fly, because in the 19th century when only hand vises were used, the fly hook was held in the eye before the tail and body were wound.

The tightening strength is equivalent to that of a medium head, allowing for a reliable hold and delicate control without damaging the hook.



When reeling a fly, first reel the body from the tail and secure the thread with a half hitch, then re-pinch and finish the head.
