Field Notes

Designed for offshore surface action when tuna are feeding on top. Cast it long, then work it with sharp chugs and pauses to create a commotion that draws strikes from a distance. Best in open water when fish are keyed on bait near the surface.

Pros

  • Aft-weighted for long, smooth casts
  • Large profile suited to tuna
  • Simple surface commotion can call fish up

Cons

  • Requires active topwater presentation
  • Large size may be overkill for smaller fish
