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.

Field Notes

This is a heavy-tackle skirted trolling lure designed for offshore big-game fishing, especially marlin. Run it on a trolling spread where its cupped face can smoke and push water, helping it stand out from a distance and trigger aggressive strikes. Best used with heavy leader and large hooks in open-water trolling spreads.

Pros

  • Large cup-face profile pushes a lot of water
  • Built for heavy-tackle offshore trolling
  • High-visibility skirt and eye pattern for big-game attraction

Cons

  • Requires heavy trolling gear and large terminal tackle
  • Too large and specialized for general inshore use
