Why these fit

For offshore marlin trolling, the best starting point is a big plunger or skirted marlin lure. Fathom Offshore Diablo Del Mar Extra Large 16" Trolling Lure and Fathom Offshore Queen Annes Revenge Extra Large 18" Trolling Lure are built for big-game spreads and create the push, bubble trail, and surface commotion marlin respond to.

Aloha Lures Clear Mirrored No Eyes Large Gully Boy 12" 11oz Skirted Blue-Silver/Pink is a strong marlin option when you want a loud pop and dive with a skittering return.

Fathom Offshore Scream Machine Medium 11" Trolling Lure is more of a tuna-style lure, but it can still earn a place in an offshore spread if you want a smaller, flashier teaser/lure alongside bigger marlin baits.

Fathom Offshore Deep Purple Vivid Squid is a good spread enhancer for dredges, chains, or bars when you want extra bait-school realism around the main marlin lures.

Technique notes

Run the big plunger lures in the short rigger, long rigger, or shotgun positions depending on spread layout.
Troll them at a steady speed where they can dig, pop, and re-enter cleanly.
Pair a large marlin lure with squid teasers or a dredge to add attraction and keep fish in the spread.
If using the Gully Boy, let it work with a loud pop, deeper dive, then a surface return.
Keep the spread balanced: one or two big heads, plus teasers and a smaller baitfish-style lure if needed.

When to switch

Switch to squid chains, dredges, or teaser-heavy setups when fish are following but not committing. If the bite is on smaller pelagics or tuna rather than marlin, move toward smaller trolling lures like the Scream Machine or pre-rigged bait-style offerings. If the water is rough and the lure won’t track cleanly, downsize or choose a more stable teaser presentation.
