Why these fit

For tuna and dolphin/mahi, these are the strongest offshore trolling options in the set. Carolina Smokin Jet-Top Marlin, Tuna & Dolphin Fishing Lure is a good spread lure when you want smoke, bubbles, and skirt action to call fish from a distance. Mahi Magnet SR – Chugger Head Trolling Lure for Mahi, Tuna & Offshore Game Fish is built for aggressive surface reaction bites on pelagics.

If fish are keyed on smaller bait, Dorado is the most versatile all-around choice for tuna and dolphin/mahi. The Iland lures are strong bait-and-bullet-head options: Black-Purple Flash Hair Chrome Head "Hawaiian Eye" Ilander 8.5" 2.5oz is a classic high-speed trolling lure, while Blue-Pink Flash Hair Chrome Head Sailure 5.5" 0.5oz is better for lighter, finicky bites and smaller presentations.

Technique notes

• Troll these offshore in a spread, not just straight behind the boat.
• Use the chugger/smoke-style lure to create commotion in a short or corner position.
• Use the Iland-style lures with ballyhoo or similar baitfish baits when you want a cleaner bait profile.
• Run the smaller Sailure when fish are picky, the sea is calmer, or you need a subtler presentation.
• For tuna and dolphin, match lure size to bait size: smaller bait = smaller lure; bigger bait or more aggressive fish = larger skirted lure.

When to switch

Switch to a smaller, subtler lure if fish are following but not committing, especially in calm water or when bait is tiny. Switch to a more aggressive chugger or smoke-trail lure if you need to draw fish up from distance or cover water faster. If tuna are deep and not showing on top, a trolling lure may be less effective than a different presentation.
