• Moyes Lures Blue-Green Oil Slick Black Back Small Secret 9" 3oz Skirted Black Aurora

Why these fit

If you want truly small skirted trolling lures, the Fathom Offshore Bubble Trouble Small 5" Trolling Lure and pre-rigged version are the smallest, lightest options here and are ideal for offshore spread fishing, especially around ballyhoo or dead-bait spreads.

The Moyes Lures Small Secret 9" models, Moyes Lures Chartreuse MOP Blue-Green Back Small Secret 9" 1.6oz Skirted Hair, and Moyes Lures Blue-Green Oil Slick Black Back Small Secret 9" 3oz Skirted Black Aurora are still compact, but more in the small meatfish-style class for tuna, mahi, wahoo, and similar pelagics.

Technique notes

• Run the 5" Bubble Trouble at about 4-7 knots for a subtle flash-and-pop teaser/striker in the spread.
• Use the 9" Small Secret lures when you want a small, easy-running skirted baitfish profile that tracks steadily behind the boat.
• Put the lighter 1.6 oz versions where you want a bit more surface disturbance; use the 3 oz version when you want a slightly heavier, more stable pull.
• These are best in offshore spread positions rather than as deep offerings.

When to switch

Switch to larger plunger or cut-face trolling lures when you need more splash, smoke, or a stronger surface commotion for marlin and bigger billfish. If fish are keyed on bigger bait, the 10" Koya lures are the next step up from these smaller skirts.
