Saltwater Lures

The Rapala X-Rap XRMAG-30 dives down to 30 feet while trolling.  Each lure is tank tested and approved by the Rapala staff and is guaranteed to swim true.  The hooks are 4X strong and the hardware is matched so you won't loose fish due to equipment failure. We recommend not changing hooks or split rings out as they are perfectly matched for the lure.  We sharpen our hooks if they dull but if you need to change them out, they are VMC hooks. 

You can troll these lures up to 12 knots but we always pull them at 7 to 9 knots. The larger baits like the 20 and 30 size require larger line in the 60 to 80lb range because of the drag from the larger lip.  When the bigger fish are holding deeper, these deeper running baits are just what the doctor ordered.

The Halco Roosta Popper is perfect for targeting game fish that are aggressively  attacking bait fish near or on the surface.  The hardware on these poppers is of the highest quality and will stand up to big fish like tuna, GT's, dorado, and peacock bass. They are best used with a heavy spinning rod and reel due to the higher inches of line retrieved per crank.  We prefer to have braided line with a short 3' top shot of monofilament or fluorocarbon.

The Halco Roosta 195 Haymaker is designed for catching some of the toughest fish that swim, from Giant Trevally to Dogtooth Tuna. It is built with extra heavy duty, custom made 7xx fish rings and is equipped with Mustad 5 extra strong 5/0 trebles. While designed with a blooping style retrieve in mind, the Roosta Haymaker can be simply wound in at speed or trolled for excellent results.The recommended method of retrieval for best results is to point the rod tip at the lure, retrieve any slack line and firmly sweep the rod tip in a downward motion approximately 45 degrees. Allow the lure to rest for several seconds and if a fish hasn't taken the lure repeat as necessary.

Rapala's Husky Magnum® will swim at a predetermined depth when trolled. The number in the name of the lure indicates the running depth when trolled with 30 meters of line out.  The Husky Magnum can be trolled almost twice as fast as the original Rapala XRAP so you're able to cover twice as much water increasing the chance of a strike.

If you want to use the Husky Magnum® in shallow water, let the lure run with less line to adjust the running depth. Using thicker line that has more resistance in the water also reduces the running depth.

A precision tool for fast trolling and battling big predators. Husky Magnum® is built tough and designed to swim at a pre-determined depth and run straight at up to 12 knots. It features a tight, strong rolling action that is emphasized with a loud internal rattle. Internal translucent rainbow foil and scale pattern create a natural, life-like appearance.

Max’s effective operating envelope is exceptional, ranging from a fast hand retrieve to a racy 14 knots while trolling.  You can troll it up to 21 knots but there is no need to troll it that fast.  That just demonstrates that it can be trolled fast and has a nice tight wobble.
