Lure heads feature genuine Paua Shell (Abalone) inserts. The concave nose catches air and then releases it as it dives in a magnificent smoke trail. These 7 1/2 inch lures do well in all weather conditions, from rough seas to dead calm. Each skirt is tied (not glued) to the head, which features a tail that has been bored out to accommodate the nose of a rigged ballyhoo. This feature enhances the swimming action of the ballyhoo while reducing the risk of the bait washing out. These lures have proven deadly with all game fish.
