Sakura Utter Head 7g (Hook #2/0) Sand Eel
The Natural Stealth Specialist for Bottom-Dwelling Predators
The Sakura Utter Head in Sand Eel is the ultimate match-the-hatch jig head for coastal and estuary anglers. While the Sabot (shoe-shaped) design provides the technical stability needed to keep your lure perfectly upright on the seabed, the Sand Eel colorway offers a subtle, realistic olive-and-silver finish. This makes it the go-to choice when fishing in clear water or when targeting pressured fish that have become wary of bright, artificial colors.
Equipped with a top-tier VMC 7345 hook, this head is designed to handle the explosive strike of a Bass or the tough jaw of a large Zander. The combination of the stable base and the natural finish ensures that your soft plastic looks like a living, breathing creature foraging on the bottom.

Where & How to Use Them
-
Clear Water Bass Fishing: When the sun is high and the water is gin-clear, the Sand Eel finish blends seamlessly with natural soft plastics. This reduced visibility prevents spooking fish, allowing the vibration of the lure to do the talking.
-
Working the Sand-Vents: In areas where sandeels are known to bury themselves, use the Utter Head to puff the sand on the bottom. The sabot shape hits the floor flat, creating a small cloud of silt that mimics a sandeel emerginga dinner bell for passing Bass and Pollock.
-
Estuary Finesse: The 7g weight is ideal for mid-depth estuary channels. The stable base allows you to dead-stick the lure in the current; it will sit upright on the bottom while the tide works the tail of your lure enticingly.
-
Targeting Sight-Feeders: Because this head doesnt have the flash of a painted or chrome head, it relies on its realistic silhouette. This is perfect for species like Gurnard or Flatfish that will track a lure along the bottom before committing to the strike.
Gerrys Pro Tip:
The Sand Eel color is a personal favorite for fishing over clean sand. If you pair this with a translucent or glitter soft plastic, the transition between the head and the body is almost invisible. It creates a incredibly sleek profile that looks exactly like a real launce or sandeel trying to hide in the substrate
