Field Notes

Use as a trolling lure for blue marlin and striped marlin ("big stripey") when you want an aggressive action close to the transom. Troll at about 5–10 knots on flatlines or from the rod tip, and run it in the spread with other lures.

Pros

  • Aggressive action
  • Designed for close transom trolling
  • Extra-hard resin helps resist chipping/cracking
  • Works on flatlines or rod-tip trolling

Cons

  • Requires trolling speed control (5–10 knots)
  • Not a casting lure—best used in a spread
