Field Notes

Use this large plunger-style lure when targeting pelagic species like marlin in offshore conditions. Cast or deploy from a boat and work it at varying speeds to find the most consistent action for the fish in the area.

Pros

  • Handmade plunger design with double-tapered body
  • Real Tahitian MOP resin insert
  • Skirted for added attraction and vibration

Cons

  • Large, heavy lure requiring appropriate offshore tackle
  • No-eye pattern may be less effective in very low-visibility conditions for some anglers
