Quick take
A torpedo-shaped offshore trolling lure rigged with a 6-foot 250 lb wire leader for wahoo and sharp-toothed game fish.
This purple mixed-color torpedo trolling lure is made for offshore pelagic fish such as mackerel and wahoo. It is rigged on 250 lb wire cable with a 7/0 hook and a curved point style. Anglers who troll for king mackerel and similar species can add the purple finish to the spread.
Best for
- Wahoo fishing on the continental shelf
- Kingfish trolling offshore
Skip if
- You fish inshore where lures are smaller
- You need to change baits frequently; wire-rigged lures are permanent
Strengths
- Copper head with detector holes creates realistic movement
- 6-foot wire leader stands up to sharp wahoo teeth
- 7/0 hook is sized for the wahoo's mouth and strike
Trade-offs
- 7.5 in and 250 lb wire are too heavy for small boat trolling
- Once rigged, they cannot be easily swapped for different presentations

About this type
A lure is an artificial bait that draws a strike with its shape, color and movement.
Each kind is built for certain depths and ways of fishing.
Weight decides how far a lure casts and what rod and line it needs; color changes how visible it is in the water.
