Joe Shute Bluefin Series Trolling Lure | 3oz | 4 Colors

Built to Reach Deep-Holding Giants.

When bluefin and bigeye are marking deep and ignoring the surface spread, the Joe Shute Bluefin Series 3oz is the answer. The extra weight drives the bait into the water column and holds depth at trolling speed — getting your presentation right in front of fish that are sitting well below the chum line or surface activity. Hand-tied to Joe Shute’s 17+ year standard, proven from the Mid-Atlantic canyons to the Northeast bluefin grounds.

How to Fish It

Slow your troll to 5–6 knots over a deep mark and let the 3oz weight do the work of getting the bait down. Run in the long corner or flat line position for maximum depth. Sand Eel Olive and White/Blue-Crystal are natural, realistic choices for pressured fish; Chartreuse/Pink-Blue-Chartreuse adds contrast and visibility in deep or dark water. Works best paired with a natural ballyhoo on 200lb fluorocarbon for big bluefin.
