Description

All colours are available across our entire range. The colour range images you see are of the Demon series - this is simply for illustration purposes. The Exocet is a strikingly different lure both in shape and how it performs when trolled. This range was specifically designed for targeting tuna species, with its long head shape and short skirts, and they should be loaded with a single hook only. The Exocet runs on or just under the surface of the water, as fleeing bait fish might do while being pursued by a predator. The Exocet is best suited to the long corner, riggers, or when used as a shotgun lure can turn a dead day into a day to remember. With a speed range from 7 - 16 an effective high speed pattern can be used to cover large distances while searching for productive waters. The Exocets can be used to great effect while drifting and live batting or cubing for Tuna, simply allow an unweighted Exocet to sink to a suitable depth before setting the line in the rigger, then allow the motion of the boat to do the rest. Try it, the results may surprise. Two sizes are available in the Exocet series to increase your chances of success.

Field Notes

Designed for trolling tuna at higher speeds, especially on long corner, outrigger/rigger, or shotgun spreads. It runs on or just under the surface to imitate fleeing baitfish, and can also be used while drifting, live baiting, or cubing when allowed to sink first and then worked with boat motion.

Pros

  • Built specifically for tuna trolling
  • Runs near the surface for a baitfish profile
  • Effective at high trolling speeds
  • Can be used in multiple spread positions

Cons

  • Requires trolling setup and proper rigging
  • Single-hook rig only
  • Less versatile outside offshore tuna applications
