Description

The Predator received a roaring introduction back in the 2000 Ocean City Tuna Tournament with a victory while we were still testing it! The Predator is tied with a combination of two colors of heavy duty reverse tied "fiber optic" hair and brilliant flash mylar material. It has prismatic 3D eyes and our custom “belly-weighted" 2 ounce head for a prefectly swimming bait. This lure is made specifically to be used over bait but we have been told that it can be productive as a stand-alone also. This lure runs about four inches below the surface in any sea conditions with its hair pulsating and mylar flashing in a way that a real predator just cannot resist. This model is also extremely effective on a downrigger or planer for bluefin tuna and big wahoo. I can't even begin to describe how effective this lure fished over a Ballyhoo Reload has been!

Field Notes

Designed to be fished over bait or as a stand-alone trolling lure for bluefin tuna and big wahoo. It runs just below the surface and is effective on downriggers or planers, especially when you want flash and pulse around bait schools.

Pros

  • Flash mylar and fiber-optic hair create strong attraction
  • Belly-weighted head helps it swim properly
  • Effective over bait, on downriggers, or with planers

Cons

  • Specific depth control is limited
  • Best suited to trolling rather than casting
