From "Bonze" Fleet on The Hercules: "This tournament winning cup face pusher is worth it’s weight in gold. Run this lure with confidence and just watch what happens.

This lure was my key to success in Cape Verde on board the Happy Hooker. Skirted Length: 380mm / 15” Hook Size: 10/0 – 11/0 Leader Size: 400lb – 600lb."

Field Notes

This is a heavy-tackle skirted trolling lure designed for offshore big-game trolling. It is meant to be run on heavy leader and large hooks to draw aggressive strikes from blue marlin and similar pelagic species, especially when covering water at speed.

Pros

  • Large cup-face profile creates a strong surface disturbance and smoke trail
  • Heavy-tackle build suited for big-game offshore trolling
  • Skirted and color-patterned to stand out at distance

Cons

  • Requires heavy trolling gear and experienced rigging
  • Too specialized and large for general-purpose fishing
