Fly Tying Hannibal Mask for brush flies and other baitfish imitations.
There are two ways of using the Hannibal Mask
1. Insert mask over the eye of hook before you make your final turn of the brush material.
This will give your baitfish fly a realistic puffed up head that won't flatten out in the water and will keep the shape of the fly.
2. Insert mask last after completing the fly.
This will cause turbulence around the head and also help keep the hook gape free of material for better hookups.
Fly Tying Hannibal Masks are made in South Africa
