 Little Head - This lure is primarily designed to be used with natural baits, just
as you would with a typical ballyhoo rig. The leader should be about 6 feet long,
mono (80# - 150#) or steel (#7 - #9), the hook size can range from 7/0 to 9/0 in
Mustad styles 3412 or 3407SS. This lure has also been rigged with just the single
hook and no natural bait this has been effective with Blackfin Tuna. The lure will
start to "smoke" about 3 knots, this lure can be pulled from 4 to 12 knots effectively,
depending of course on the sea conditions. This lure has caught all types of striking
fish: Mahi Mahi, Wahoo, Tuna- Yellowfin, Blackfin, Bonita, Sailfish, Kingfish, etc.
 Concord (Small C.B.H.L.) - This lure can be rigged in a variety of ways with natural
bait or without. With natural bait, the leader should be about 6 to 8 feet long, mono
(100# - 220#) or steel (#8 - #10), the hook size can range from 7/0 to 11/0 in Mustad
styles 3412 or 3407SS, depending upon the size of the bait. The speed for pulling
naturals can be between 4 and 10 knots with this lure, I prefer about 8 knots. This
lure has been very effective rigged with just a double hook rig, 7732 or 7731, 7/0 or
8/0, "high speed trolling", with an 18' leader. This set up not only works on the east
side of the Gulf Stream but as well on the west side. The trolling speed with this set
up should be between 8 and 12 knots. The artificial can be run in conjunction with natural
baits in the spread, running both naturals and artificials together, when doing this the
speed should be 4 to 9 knots. This lure run as an artificial and with natural bait has caught
all types of striking fish: Mahi Mahi, Wahoo, Tuna- Yellowfin, Blackfin, Bonita, Sailfish,
Kingfish, etc.

natural baits rig the Spanish or mullet as you typically would and slide the color of choice over
the nose, this can be pulled at the same speeds.

Tackle - The "Little Head" and small lures can be trolled with light tackle from 16# to heavy tackle 130#,
depending on the area and target species. Typically the medium can be trolled with the same (16# to 130#),
but it is recommended to use at least 30# class tackle. The large lures should be trolled with at least
50# tackle, due to their size and amount of pull they create. The leader size used with the high-speed
rigs is pre installed on the rigs themselves, and then you just add the lure of choice.
*The above are recommendations that have been used successfully with all these lures. There are many others
ways that the lures may be used effectively, depending on the area being fished and the preferences of the crew.
