The Magictail Soft Head Chugger is purpose-built to trigger marlin's predatory instinct — creating the surface splash and commotion that turns a follower into a bite. The soft-head design delivers realistic, injured-baitfish action at any retrieve speed, whether you’re trolling at speed or working a slower spread to coax a finicky fish.

How to Fish It
Rig on a heavy fluorocarbon or wire leader appropriate for your target marlin species. Deploy in the short teaser position or run as a standalone chugger at the back of the spread. The soft head responds well to both steady trolling speeds and variable retrieves — experiment with speed until you find what the fish are responding to that day. Bulk 50-packs are ideal for tournament teams rigging multiple rods in advance.
