Tuna-Z | Blue Fang

Aerovik Shark topwater popper in Holographic Blue: concave head that moves water and pops on every jerk, for spinning for tuna.

When to use it

Holographic blue over silver imitates a baitfish seen from below in clear blue water. A natural colour for when tuna are breaking on the surface but turning down anything flashy.

How to work it

• Long, hard jerks: wide splash and turbulence. This is what calls fish in from a distance and what works in a choppy sea.
• Short, sharp jerks: it digs the nose in, pops dry and leaves a bubble trail.
• The pause between jerks: the lure sits floating, and that is where most of the takes happen.

Target species

Bluefin and albacore tuna in the Strait and the Atlantic, and any predator feeding on the surface: amberjack, leerfish or GT in tropical waters.

Build

• Resin finish with engraved scaling and a 3D eye.
• Holographic blue flank over a silver belly.
