Large Resin Trolling Lures Q&A

Question 1

I just purchased 3 Tinker Mackeral. I did not see an option for replacement skirts. Can I get them?

Asked 3 ´years ago | Large Resin Trolling Lures > Tinker Mackerel Calico Jack Slant Large 14" Trolling Lure

Answer:

Yes, we do sell the Tinker Mackerel skirts on the site. The Calico Jack Slant takes an OC50 skirt size. The outer lure replacement skirt can be found CLICK HERE. The inner skirt is solid black and can be found CLICK HERE.

Question 2

Best position for this lure? And also is this lure supposed to go with ballyhoo or without?

Asked 2 ´years ago | Large Resin Trolling Lures > Tinker Mackerel Calico Jack Slant Large 14" Trolling Lure

Answer:

Most of our trolling lures are intended to be trolled with no ballyhoo or dead bait unless specified. Each lure head shape offers a unique swimming motion and action when run naked (without bait). We offer a pre-rigged version of this lure that is rigged an ready to fish, simply clip to your mainline and go. The Calico Jack Slant Large is super flexible on where it can be run, however the nose angle allows it to run really well even with low line angle (long rigger etc.) but can be run closer as well.

Question 3

I have had big blue marlin sail by all lures and natural baits only to zero-in on my hot pink lure. Good going guys

Question 6

Do you make a small version of the tinker mackerel calico Jack lure - say in the 6”-8” range?

Asked 4 ´years ago | Large Resin Trolling Lures > Tinker Mackerel Calico Jack Slant Large 14" Trolling Lure

Answer:

We can make the Tinker Mackerel and Calico Jack smaller in the 9" to 10" range, and even smaller with a caveat: The design and patterns are created for that size, so making it smaller will alter the pattern and spacing of the black bones on the inside.

We love doing custom orders, so call us if you want and we can talk about what you're specifically trying to accomplish! 910.399.6882

What is the best position for the Pepal Grande?

Asked 1 ´year ago | Large Resin Trolling Lures > Pepal Grande Large 14" Trolling Lure

The Pepal Grande can be run in a variety of positions. However, we feel this lure runs best in the short position due to the increased line angle. We generally run it left short.

10.2 oz is this the base weight or is it with the total rigbase weight for this

10.2oz is the skirted weight only. So that includes trolling lure head, two skirts and hook lock. There is no rigging (hookset or leader) included in that weight.

Question 14

would you recomend the leader cable or mono also how long would you reccomend doing the leader

Asked 3 ´years ago | Calico Jack Slant Large 14" Trolling Lure

Answer:

For the Calico Jack Slant Large trolling lure, we recommend a mono leader. We generally use 400-500# Momoi X-Hard. The length of your lure leader really depends on the requirements of any tournaments your fishing or personal preference. We generally use a 20 - 30' leader when fun fishing.

Question 15

Is it possible to get just the heads? And does the head alone weigh 8.oz?
