Joe Shute Nickel Head Keel Weighted Trolling Lure | 5oz | 4 Colors

Nickel Flash. Keel Stability. No Spin.

The Joe Shute Nickel Head Series 5oz Keel Weighted combines the flash and visual appeal of a nickel-finish head with the built-in keel weight that keeps your ballyhoo swimming straight instead of spinning out — mile after mile. The nickel finish adds a light-catching, baitfish-like reflection that stands out in mixed spreads, while the keel construction does the work of keeping your presentation natural. Hand-tied to Joe Shute’s 17+ year standard, trusted for tuna, mahi-mahi, and wahoo.

How to Fish It

Rig with a fresh ballyhoo and deploy in any spread position at standard trolling speeds. The keel design tracks true without requiring a chin weight, keeping the bait swimming naturally even in chop or current. Crystal is the most versatile clear-water option; Blue/Crystal is a consistent producer in blue water; Black/Purple adds contrast in low-light or overcast conditions. The nickel head pairs particularly well with a rigged ballyhoo when the sun is out and you want maximum flash in the spread.
