Saltwater Trolling Bait 16cm Squid Skirt Deep Sea Fishing Bait Tuna Marlin

The Saltwater Trolling Bait 16cm Squid Skirt is a type of artificial lure designed for deep-sea fishing, particularly effective for attracting large predator fish like Tuna and Marlin. It is designed to mimic the appearance and movement of a squid, a common prey for these species in offshore waters.

Key features of this bait include:

• Size (16cm): The 16cm length makes it ideal for targeting large fish species like Tuna, Marlin, and Wahoo. This size closely resembles the profile of many squid and small fish that these predator fish typically hunt.
  
  

• Squid Skirt Design: The squid skirt creates lifelike, erratic movements in the water, simulating the natural behavior of a squid. When trolled behind a boat, the skirt undulates and pulses, attracting the attention of predatory fish.

• Durability: The skirt is usually made from high-quality silicone or rubber, ensuring it is durable enough to withstand the harsh saltwater environment. This makes it suitable for multiple strikes and long-term use.

• Trolling Application: This bait is specifically designed for trolling, where it is pulled behind a moving boat at speeds of around 5-10 knots, ideal for catching big game fish. The motion of the bait imitates a squid or small fish attempting to escape, triggering a strike from predator fish.

• Color and Design: Squid skirt baits come in vibrant colors like pink, purple, green, or multi-colored patterns to stand out in the water, especially in deep offshore environments where visibility can be limited.

• Target Species: This bait is commonly used for big game fishing, attracting species such as:

  • Tuna (Bluefin, Yellowfin)
  • Marlin (Blue, Black, Striped Marlin)
  • Mahi-Mahi (Dorado)
  • Wahoo

• Rigging: The squid skirt can be rigged with a single or double hook inside the skirt or body. It can also be combined with ballyhoo or other natural baits for added attraction.
  
  

Tips for Using Squid Skirt Baits:

• Speed: Adjust your trolling speed to match the movement of the prey. Too fast and the lure may skip on the surface; too slow and it may not attract the fish.
• Depth: Experiment with varying depths by adjusting the line length or using a weighted rig to place the bait in the strike zone.
• Action: Make sure the bait is moving erratically by adjusting your trolling setup. Using a dredge or teaser in front of the bait can further enhance attraction.
