Field Notes

Use this as a skirted offshore trolling lure for marlin, tuna, and dolphin/mahi. It is designed to be pulled at 4 to 10 knots, especially from short or long rigger positions, and works well when covering open water with spread patterns. The slant-face head is meant to track cleanly while the skirt adds profile and action behind the boat.

Pros

  • Built specifically for offshore trolling
  • Handmade in the USA
  • Suitable for marlin, tuna, and dolphin/mahi
  • Works across a useful 4 to 10 knot trolling range

Cons

  • Requires a trolling setup and boat speed
  • Not a casting or jigging lure
  • Large profile may be overkill for smaller fish
