The El Matador is a Medium Tackle lure with a reverse tapered cupped-face head and 10" sized skirt saddles. This lure has a slightly deeper reverse taper than frontal taper. From "Bonze" Fleet on the El Matador: " The El Matador blends the aggressive surface action of the angled-face Kraken with the smooth, driving dive of the cup-face BTK. The result? A lure with serious attitude and exceptional holding power. El Matador brings a uniquely dynamic action to your spread — and it’s guaranteed to turn heads and fire up pelagics."

Field Notes

This is a skirted offshore trolling lure designed for pelagic gamefish. It is best run in a trolling spread where its cupped-face head can dig and track steadily, creating a strong swimming/dive action that stands out in rougher water or when fish want a more aggressive presentation. Use it with heavy leader and appropriate big-game hooks for offshore trolling applications.

Pros

  • Aggressive surface-to-subsurface trolling action
  • Strong holding power and trackability
  • Big-game size and 3 oz head suit offshore spreads

Cons

  • Requires heavy tackle and rigging knowledge
  • Not ideal for small boats or light tackle
  • Best use is limited to trolling rather than casting
