Field Notes

Use this plunger-style lure when targeting marlin in offshore conditions, working it in a steady, controlled manner to keep the lure tracking correctly. It’s an all-position lure, so it can be fished across varying depths depending on where the fish are holding.

Pros

  • Handmade plunger design with angled nose for all-position use
  • Real golden mother of pearl resin insert
  • Skirted body for added attraction and movement

Cons

  • Heavy lure (7.8 oz) requires appropriate offshore tackle
  • Specific to larger offshore gamefish; not ideal for small inshore species
