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

Fish it over bait, especially a Ballyhoo rig, when targeting tuna and wahoo. It also works well on a downrigger or planer, and the lure is designed to run just under the surface in a variety of sea conditions. The hair and mylar flash make it a good choice when you want a trolling teaser or swimming bait with strong visual appeal.

Pros

  • Belly-weighted head helps it swim correctly
  • Hair and mylar create strong flash and pulse
  • Effective over bait, on downriggers, or planers

Cons

  • Best suited to trolling-style presentations rather than casting
  • No specific color pattern listed
