DR
Special - This lure has been primarily run as an artificial,
although it has been rigged with Spanish mackerel and large
mullet with success. This lure starts to smoke and wobble
at 4 knots and has a very live action. The typical set up
is with a double hook rig, 7732, 7731, or 7691S 10/0 to 12/0,
18' leader, (6'-8' leaders when using a wind on leader) to
be run as an artificial. The trolling speed for this lure
is between 6 and 12 knots, but can be varied depending upon
sea conditions. To be run with 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 20# 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 will
vary depending on the crew, tackle, and sea conditions.
All Lures -
All lures have caught a variety of striking fish to include:
Marlin- Blue, Black, Striped, Mahi Mahi, Wahoo, Tuna- Yellowfin,
Bluefin, Blackfin, Bonita, Kingfish and Sailfish. They
have been successfully used both as an artificial and with
a variety of natural baits.
